THE JHARKHAND STORY DESK
New Delhi, Feb 18: The Supreme Court on Tuesday strongly reprimanded YouTuber-podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia for using offensive language on India’s Got Latent. The court stated that this individual’s mind is filled with filth, which has been spread through this program.
However, a bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh granted interim protection from arrest to Ranveer Allahabadia and directed that no further FIRs be registered.
Chosen words would embarrass parents and sisters: SC
Justice Surya Kant, rebuking Allahabadia, remarked, “Such behaviour has to be condemned. Just because you are popular you cannot take the society for granted. Is there anyone on earth who will like this language. There is something very dirty in his mind, which has been vomited by him in the program. He is insulting parents also. Why should the courts favour him?”
“The words you (petitioner) have chosen, parents will feel ashamed. Daughters and sisters will feel ashamed. The entire society will be ashamed. These are the levels of depravity you and your henchmen have gone to. Rule of law and system has to be followed. He should be ashamed as to what he has done to his parents. We are not in ivory towers and we know from where he copied (the content),” the bench added.

Allahabadia barred from traveling abroad, ordered to surrender passport
While granting interim relief from arrest, the court directed Ranveer to cooperate with the investigation. It also barred him from traveling abroad and ordered him to surrender his passport. Additionally, he was instructed to stay away from show business for a while.
The Supreme Court addressed the threats received by Allahabadia, stating that if he uses such language for cheap publicity, others will follow suit, even making extreme statements like cutting tongues.
Justice N Kotiswar Singh remarked that if the police summon him for questioning, they will also provide security, assuring him that there is no need to worry.
The court condemned the threats but emphasized that the law must take its course. It further questioned whether someone who considers themselves highly popular can take society for granted and whether anyone would find such language acceptable.
