Delhi High Court Orders Takedown of Honey Singh, Badshah’s ‘Volume 1’ From Streaming Platforms over Obscene Lyrics
Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav said the track’s lyrics were grossly vulgar and patently obscene, and ordered links blocked across major streaming platforms.
- On Thursday, the Delhi High Court ordered the immediate removal of the song "Volume 1" by artists Honey Singh and Badshah, calling the lyrics "grossly vulgar" and "patently obscene."
- Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav issued the mandate following a petition from the Hindu Shakti Dal, which argued the track is offensive toward women and accessible to minors.
- The court instructed the Central Government to expunge URLs from platforms like YouTube, Google, and Spotify, noting that artistic freedom cannot justify such content's circulation.
- Justice Kaurav issued notices to the singers and permitted the petitioner to identify additional links for deletion, as the Centre assured the court necessary directions would be issued.
- Scheduled for a further hearing on May 7, the case continues as the court maintains that no civilized society can allow such content to remain available on digital platforms.
