The Supreme Court on Friday refused to hear a petition seeking censorship of actress Kangana Ranaut's future social media statements, joining multiple FIRs filed against her for anti-Sikh remarks and an investigation by Mumbai police. It instructed the petitioner to either disregard her statements or seek legal redress. The top court also stated that the petitioner, a member of the Sikh community, cannot seek clubbing of multiple FIRs as a member of the public and that only the accused or informant can seek such a remedy. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Bela Trivedi told petitioner Sardar Charanjeet Singh Chanderpal, an advocate, who appeared in person, that the remedy he sought could not be granted under an Article 32 petition and that he would have to seek relief under criminal law. "There are two alternatives. You can either ignore her statements or seek legal redress. We value the community. We value your faith... You are doing more harm to the cause by making these statements. Don't try to influence the court's decision. Don't make it political. These utterances have been read from your file. When Chanderpal attempted to read the remarks made by Ranaut on social media, the bench told him, "You don't need to speak up." Chanderpal stated that he has filed and is pursuing an intervention application in Ranaut's FIR quashing petition. "As regards first relief, the petitioner-in-person states that he has already adopted proceedings for availing of his remedies by law by instituting a private complaint," the bench ordered. Given the petitioner's invocation of the remedy, we respectfully request that the petition be treated as disposed of insofar as prayer A (censoring social media posts) is concerned, with no opinion expressed by this court at this time." Chanderpal stated that the actress' "outrageous" and "defamatory" statements that "Sikh Farmers were Khalistani Terrorists" and attempted to portray the community as "anti-national" continue.
