Concerned over jokes on social media ridiculing people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, SC says it may direct the government to frame guidelines for all media platforms.
Justices Surya Kant & N. Kotiswar Singh relaxed the condition after Assam & Maharashtra governments communicated the conclusion of investigation against influencer-podcaster.
Comedian Samay Raina has been accused of ridiculing a person with visual disability and those suffering from a rare disorder like Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
Popular as 'The Rebel Kid', Mukhija's remarks on Samay Raina’s YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent’ with podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia triggered social media outrage and led to multiple FIRs.
On 3 March, the top court had allowed Allahbadia to resume his podcast 'The Ranveer Show' subject to maintaining 'morality and decency' and making it suitable for viewers of all ages.
The court also allowed Ranveer Allahbadia—popularly known as ‘BeerBiceps’—to resume his podcast ‘The Ranveer Show’ provided the content did not breach standards of morality, decency.
Protection is subject to Allahbadia joining probe & staying away from 'India’s Got Latent'. SC asked his counsel how obscenity would be defined in a society following 'self-evolved values'.
Apart from tarnishing his image, Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks have brought the spotlight back on the intersection of humour, vulgarity, and the call to criminalise such actions.

One such website has drawn particular scrutiny for spreading fake stories that have upset not only the Indian but also foreign defence firms by falsely attributing misinformation.
Right to dignity ? So he made a joke about disabled people which if you understood the joke was a pro disability joke.
This is just absolute nonsense. Every group in this country will start complaining about their so called “dignity”. The courts should be ashamed and the country should be embarrassed to even support such things. You won’t be able to criticize anything tomorrow unless you are a politician.
