Senior advocate Abhinav Chandrachud, son of former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, is representing YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia in the Supreme Court in connection with multiple FIRs lodged against him over contentious remarks made during a recent episode of Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent.
Abhinav Chandrachud brought the matter before a bench led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, seeking an urgent hearing.
He informed the court that multiple FIRs had been filed against Ranveer Allahbadia and that the Assam Police had summoned him on Friday.
However, the bench comprising Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar clarified that it does not allow oral mentioning of cases for urgent listing, despite Chandrachud’s request.
Ranveer Allahbadia filed a petition in the Supreme Court on Friday, requesting the consolidation of multiple complaints filed across India over his remarks on India’s Got Latent.
“I have assigned the bench, and it will come up (before a bench) in two-three days," the CJI said when Chandrachud submitted that the Guwahati Police had summoned Allahbadia for questioning.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the Guwahati Police registered an FIR on February 10 against five YouTubers and content creators—Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, Jaspreet Singh, Ashish Chanchlani, and Ranveer Allahbadia—on charges of “promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion.”
