The Supreme Court has granted relief to YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, allowing him to resume his podcast, subject to an undertaking that it will maintain standards of decency and morality. The apex court’s ruling comes as a major respite for the content creator, who had been facing legal scrutiny over alleged objectionable content.
During the hearing, the Supreme Court took a stern stance against co-accused Samay Raina, criticizing his conduct. The bench remarked that one of the co-accused had fled to Canada and was making fun of the legal proceedings, adding that such individuals believe the judiciary is outdated. While the court refrained from taking strict action, it issued a strong warning, stating that while it understands their youth, it knows how to handle such situations if necessary.
The ruling highlights the judiciary’s balanced approach in addressing online content concerns while ensuring that creators adhere to ethical standards. With this decision, Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast is set to resume, but under the watchful eye of the law.
