Calcutta HC called the poster distasteful

The matter was heard by a single-judge bench lead by Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya. The judge described the poster as distasteful and shared that the actress' conduct had shaken the conscience. The court further observed that such offensive content shouldn't be displayed publicly or reach social media circulation, particularly by a public figure like Sreelekha.
