The Supreme Court issued a stern warning to Ranveer Allahbadia, emphasizing that freedom of speech is not absolute and that the use of offensive language does not constitute humor. In a significant development for Allahbadia, the Supreme Court on Monday rejected the prosecution’s request to terminate the YouTuber’s podcast, affirming that he is permitted to continue his shows, provided they adhere to standards of morality and decency.
The Supreme Court stated, “He claims that numerous employees are involved, which means that the livelihoods of several families are at stake. Provided that he upholds moral standards and decency, we can permit him to proceed with his program.” This statement came after Allahbadia made inappropriate comments during the ‘India’s Got Latent’ show. On February 18, the Supreme Court prohibited him from broadcasting any shows while also granting him temporary protection from arrest in light of several FIRs lodged by the police in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Assam.
