Definition of the word obscene have been stated in the cases 
Ramanandan Sahu vs Niranjan Rout And Anr. on 6 December, 1991 (para6-8)

Obscenity is to be judged on the basis of the act itself : B.K. Adarsh v. Union of India and Ors. : AIR 1990 A.P. 100)

 

obscenity is an act which has an irritating and/or immoral influence. delivered by Cockburn C. J. in R. v. Hicklin (1863) L.R. 3 Q. B. 360
