india ⚖️ SC asks states to respond to Pranit More's FIR plea
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to Maharashtra and Haryana regarding comedian Pranit More's request to consolidate his FIRs. A three-judge bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, also notified the Union government on Monday. The controversy started after a misogynistic audience member's remarks during his show in Gurugram. Maharashtra Cyber Police registered FIRs against More, the audience member, and another person under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Moving forward, a separate petition is calling for a regulatory framework for stand-up comedy and social media.
