Taking strong exception to the conduct of comedian Samay Raina and YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani, the Supreme Court on Tuesday imposed a cost of Rs 3 each on them for taking it for a ride.“We have no reason to doubt that Samay Raina has taken the court for a ride. He is in brazen violation of undertakings given before this court. The misconduct is sought to be compounded by stating that a compliance affidavit was filed yesterday, however, no affidavit has been filed,” a Bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said.“They think sitting outside the country they’re beyond (our) jurisdiction… Let them suffer now. If this is not arrogance, then we have to change the Oxford dictionary also,” a Bench led by the CJI said after it was informed that Raina had not invited any disabled persons to his show despite its earlier order.“In public life, the more you respect others, the more respect you earn. You don’t humiliate people,” noted the Bench, which also included Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana while hearing a plea filed by Cure SMA India Foundation.The foundation accused Raina of making insensitive remarks over the high cost of treatment for SMA and ridiculing a person with such a disability.The top court had earlier asked comedians Raina and others to hold two programmes/shows per month about the success stories of persons with disabilities (PwDs) to generate funds for the treatment of disabled persons, especially those suffering from SMA. It had also asked the influencers to display their unconditional apology in their podcasts/shows for ridiculing persons with disabilities and rare genetic disorders.The court’s comments came after senior advocate Aparajita Singh, representing the foundation, said that Raina and other influencers never contacted them to join any of his shows but their affidavit said they could not contact the petitioner.“Now we find it distasteful to ask for his show. He has apparently done shows with the disabled in some physical locations and did shows. I don’t know what kind of youth icon he is. People like Samay Raina are apparently youth icons. I shudder to think so,” Singh said.Solicitor General Tushar Mehta too rapped him for his arrogance. “Our youth have better icons… Recently, he (Raina) started a new show where he mocked the system without naming anyone. He said at the beginning, ‘I am doing something which I didn’t do in the last series’,” Mehta said.“He hangs nimbu and mirchi. He did not name anyone, but it was quite visible. I did not want to go into it but if he (Raina) has not contacted SMA Foundation/persons suffering from SMA, then this shows his arrogance,” Mehta submitted.The petitioner had flagged jokes made by “India’s Got Latent” host Samay Raina and other social media influencers Vipun Goyal, Balraj Paramjeet Singh Ghai, Sonali Thakkar and Nishant Jagdish Tanwar.Flagging the need for a stringent law to protect the dignity of the differently abled, the top court had asked the Centre to consider framing norms to make derogatory remarks ridiculing persons with disabilities and rare genetic disorders a penal offence on the lines of the SC-ST Act.
