The Supreme Court’s decision to quash the FIRs means that the criminal cases arising from the controversy will no longer proceed against Samay Raina and the other accused in the matter
The Supreme Court on Friday (August 14) quashed the criminal proceedings against comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina and four other comedians over insensitive remarks concerning persons with disabilities on India’s Got Latent.
According to reports, the bench, comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, passed the order on August 14.
Apart from Samay Raina, the relief covers Vipul Goyal, Balraj Paramjeet Singh Ghai, Sonali Thakkar alias Sonali Aditya Desai and Nishant Jagdish Tanwar. The court also appreciated their efforts to organise events for the benefit of persons with disabilities.
“Once there are genuine efforts positive results are bound to be there. They are very bright youngsters. If they have started working in positive direction, there will be positive output,” the bench reportedly said.
