#SupremeCourt to shortly hear plea by Ranveer Allahabadia and Ashish Chanchlani in the case over remarks made in #indiasgotlatent show

Allahabadia and Chanchlani were protected from arrest in the last hearing

Dr Abhinav Chandrachud: We have moved an application. We are seeking lifting of one part of the order which refrained him from airing his shows etc. He has no sense of humour at all.. but he has 280 employees and it is his livelihood. It can be ordered that let no profane words be uttered.

SG: this is an isolated case. It is not vulgar but it is perverse. I saw the show also out of curiosity.. humour is one thing, vulgarity is one thing, and perversity is another level. Leave alone man and woman.. me and AG cannot see it together. The judges cannot see it together. Let him stay quiet for sometime .. Assam called him. He did not come.
