    [abstract] => This paper critically examines how Indian courts have interpreted modesty in relation to women's rights and autonomy. This study shows how the concept of modesty has been created, negotiated, and disputed in the legal system by thoroughly examining Indian court rulings, legislative acts, and constitutional guarantees. According to the study, women's autonomy and sense of agency are undermined by the legal system's view of modesty, which frequently upholds gender stereotypes and patriarchal standards. The study critically looks at how the court shapes the conversation around modesty and how it affects women's rights, especially when it comes to sexual abuse, harassment, and discrimination. The study makes use of a variety of theoretical stances, such as critical discourse analysis, postcolonial theory, and feminist legal theory. The study makes use of a variety of theoretical stances, such as critical discourse analysis, postcolonial theory, and feminist legal theory. The necessity for a more contextualized and nuanced definition of modesty that gives women's rights, experiences, and viewpoints priority is highlighted in the paper's conclusion. The study suggests a paradigm change in the way judges view modesty, one that acknowledges and values women's independence, self-determination, and dignity
