The Supreme Court quashed an FIR against actor Priya Prakash Varrier and the director and the producer of Malayalam movie 'Oru Adaar Love'. The case had alleged that the 'wink song' video had hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslim community.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said the Malayalam folk song, on which the 'wink song' has been picturised, has been in the public domain since 1978 and the video cannot be termed as blasphemous. "We allow the writ petition of Varrier and others and quash the FIR lodged against them in Telangana and further direct no FIR under Section 200 of CrPC will be entertained against the petitioners for picturisation of the song in question," the bench said.
