Stand-up comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi, who made his Bollywood debut this year, landed in trouble after a Delhi-based lawyer filed a petition against him for allegedly insulting advocates during one of his shows. However, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition on Monday. The petition was heard by a bench of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia.
The judges declined to entertain a plea against a comic show and asked petitioner Farhat Warsi to come up with something better. Warsi filed a petition against Anubhav Singh Bassi over his show Bas Kar Bassi and accused the comedian of insulting the lawyer community. Warsi also demanded strict action against Bassi. Dismissing the plea, the bench argued that other lawyers can take care of themselves and they should not come forward to defend the entire community. The apex court further said that it did not find any merit in the writ petition and dismissed the petition.
Farhat Warsi cited a YouTube video titled Bas Kar Bassi in which the comedian shared his experience as a law graduate.
