The web series is not taking the name of ending the ruckus on the Tandava. The case reached the Supreme Court after the Allahabad High Court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Creative Head of Amazon Prime Video, Aparna Purohit. While during the hearing, the Supreme Court has commented on OTT platforms, saying that pornography is also being shown at some places.
Hearing will be done after seeing the guidelines of the center
The Supreme Court expressed concern over pornographic content on some OTT platforms. Regarding this, the court said that it is necessary to have a mechanism for screening such programs.
During the hearing, a bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and R. Subhash Reddy asked the Central Government to provide new guidelines in this matter. A few days ago, the central government released a guideline for digital media platforms. Now the Supreme Court will hear Aparna Purohit’s anticipatory bail plea on Friday.
Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who appeared in the court on behalf of Aparna Purohit, said that this is quite a shocking case. Because while Aparna has not produced this web series nor been a part of it, her name is still registered in 10 FIRs.
The High Court had rejected the anticipatory bail plea
Let me tell you that before the High Court rejected Aparna Purohit’s anticipatory bail plea. The single judge bench of Justice Siddharth of the High Court dismissed the plea, stating that the fact is that the petitioner has acted irresponsibly by allowing the telecast of a film against the fundamental rights of the majority citizens of this country.
After the High Court rejected the anticipatory bail petition, this decision has been challenged in the Supreme Court. On which the hearing is now going on. Please tell that in the case of Tandav web series, apologies have been made on behalf of the makers and now Amazon Prime Video itself. But many cases have been registered regarding this web series, after which now officials like Makers and Aparna are afraid of arrest. That is why a petition has been filed in the court for anticipatory bail.
