Nudity is allowed when used to express Art, but obscenity is still punishable

Law draws a fine distinction between "Nudity" and "Obscenity"

Both words are extensively debated in reported law decisions and opinions.

Publication of Nudity may not be punishable as such where it is expressed as an artistic expression.

Whereas publication of obscenity is something which abhorrent to society and which is repugnant to mind.

Publication containing Obscenity is still punishable under Indian Penal Code.
