NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday ordered the appearance of five influencers, including comedian Samay Raina , in connection with a petition filed by an NGO accusing them of mocking individuals with disabilities and rare disorders.
The summons follows months of controversy surrounding an episode of Raina-led comedy show India's Got Latent , which sparked debate over the limits of free speech and the boundaries of satire.
As reported by Live Law, a bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh directed the Mumbai Police Commissioner to serve notices to the five individuals, ensuring their presence at the next hearing.
The court warned that coercive action would be taken if they fail to appear.
