Earlier in the India’s Got Latent case, YouTuber and Podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia filed an application in the Supreme Court seeking lifting of one part of its order. The part which refrains him from airing his shows, he has said in the application that he has a team of 280 employees and that it is his livelihood. While hearing the matter, the Supreme Court noted what the Attorney General and Solicitor General had to say. The Court understood that some regulatory may be required to prevent the telecast or airing of programmes that are not acceptable in terms of our society’s known moral standards. Supreme Court asked the Solicitor General, appearing for Centre, to deliberate upon and suggest some measures which shall not impinge the fundamental right of free speech and expression but also effective enough to ensure that it is within bounds of 19(4). Any draft regulatory measure in this regard can then be put in public domain to invite suggestions from stakeholders before taking any legislative or judicial measure in this regard, says Supreme Court.
