New Delhi: The Supreme Court has made significant remarks regarding the allegedly objectionable cartoons created on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). A hearing took place on Monday on the anticipatory bail petition of a cartoonist arrested in this case. The bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Arvind Kumar, expressing displeasure over the cartoonist's conduct, said that such cases disrupt social harmony.
Court Expresses Concern
During the hearing, the Supreme Court took a stern view of the cartoonist's behavior. Justice Dhulia asked, "Why do you do all this?" The bench said that the attitude of such people is not sensitive and can be detrimental to the social unity of the country.
Counsel's Argument
Senior advocate Vrinda Grover, on behalf of the cartoonist, argued in the court that even if the cartoon is bad or poor, it should not be considered a crime. She said that she was only interpreting the law and was not trying to justify anything.
Court's Strong Reaction
The court clearly stated regarding the cartoonist's attitude that "the harmony of the country is disrupted because of such people." The court also said that later these people apologize and talk about ending the case, but they do what they want to do first. The bench did not grant any relief to the cartoonist for now.
The next hearing of the case will be on Tuesday
During the hearing, the cartoonist's lawyer said that his client is ready to remove the objectionable cartoons. The court did not make any immediate decision on this and scheduled the next hearing of the case for Tuesday.
