On Friday, popular film and television producer Ekta Kapoor got slammed by Supreme Court for depicting obscene content in her web show 'XXX'. For the unversed, an ex-serviceman named Shambhu Kumar filed a complaint against Ekta in Bihar's Begusarai for presenting armed forces of the country in an objectional manner. Speaking on this matter, top court slammed Ekta for polluting young minds of the country and also called her out for wasting the invaluable court time.
Something has to be done. You are polluting the minds of the young generation of this country. It is available to all. OTT (Over The Top) content is available to all. What kind of choice are you providing to the people?....on the contrary you are polluting the minds of youngsters, a bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and C T Ravikumar said.
The court added, Everytime you travel to this court....we don't appreciate this. We will put a cost on you for filing such a petition. Mr Rohatgi please convey this to your client. Just because you can afford and hire the services of good lawyers....this court is not for those who have voices.
This court works for those who don't have voices...if these people who have all kinds of facilities, if they cannot get justice then think of the situation of this common man. We have seen the order and we have our reservations.
In the end, the bench denied the case to have a hearing in top court and it is supposed to continue in high court.
