She registered the complaint challenging the neighbour under the Indian Penal Code sections regarding intentional insult, criminal intimidation, and insulting the modesty of a woman.

The counsel for the accused neighbour claimed it was very normal for cats to go in and out of windows, and allowing further proceedings for vague complaints would tend to clog the judicial system.
