The Supreme Court on Monday (March 3, 2025) allowed podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia to air his “The Ranveer Show” subject to maintaining “morality and decency” and an undertaking that it was suitable for all ages. The top court said there should be a clear divide between humour and perversity shown or spoken on online shows and social media.
The Bench headed by Justice Surya Kant was hearing an application filed by Ranveer Allahbadia seeking a modification of a clause in the court’s February 18 order allowing him interim protection from arrest on the basis of FIRs lodged in Maharashtra and Assam concerning his comments about parents and sex in the show ‘India Got Latent’. The clause in question barred him from airing or telecasting shows, podcasts.
Justice Kant agreed with Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and said that humour is something that a family sitting together would be able to enjoy and laugh at without embarrassment.
