This is certainly good news to all the porn lovers across India. Taking a U turn from its earlier stance, the Supreme Court of India has now refused to block porn content on the internet, respecting the personal liberty of the Indians. Needless to say, this decision has been welcomed to a great cheer from the porn lovers and freethinkers in the country.
Reacting to the interim ban on porn by the apex court several months ago, the Chief Justice of India HL Dattu said, “Such interim orders cannot be passed by this court. Somebody can come to the court and say ‘Look, I am an adult and how can you stop me from watching it within the four walls of my room? It is a violation of Article 21 (right to personal liberty) of the Constitution.”
The Chief Justice made these comments following a petition by a lawyer named Vijay Panwani, who stated that porn and erotica have been the ‘major influences’ behind the crimes against women and children and he pressed for an interim order against the publishing and broadcasting of porn on the internet.
