TIWN

New Delhi, Jan 21 (TIWN) The Supreme Court on Friday declined to entertain a PIL seeking a direction to censor all future social media posts by Bollywood actress Kangna Ranaut, on the grounds that she had made several sacrilegious statements against the Sikh community, especially in connection with the protest against the farm laws.
The plea was filed by advocate Charanjeet Singh Chanderpal, who appeared in-person before the court.
A bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and Bela M. Trivedi told Chanderpal that the court respects his sensitivities, but the more he gives publicity to her utterances on social media, the more he would help her cause.
As the petitioner also sought clubbing of the FIRs, lodged against her in many states, for making allegedly making sacrilegious statements against the Sikh community, at a Mumbai police station, the bench said it is not possible for a third person to interfere, as the matter is between her and the state government.
