New Delhi: 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

The plea was filed by advocate Charanjeet Singh Chanderpal, who appeared in-person before the court.

A bench of Justices DY 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.

However, Chanderpal pressed that she had made several sacrilegious statements against Sikh community and some action must be taken against her. At this, the bench reiterated that by giving her publicity, the petitioner is doing disservice to his cause.

“There are two ways, ignore… there is also remedy under the law,” said the bench, adding that for every wrong, there is a remedy and the petitioner can avail remedy available under criminal law.
