The Supreme Court fines comedian Samay Raina Rs 3 lakh for allegedly violating its directions and for making statements the court said were false in the proceedings related to the “India’s Got Latent” row. Multiple outlets report that the court told Raina it had reason to believe he “took the court for a ride” and “brazenly violated” earlier orders, including allegations connected to filings and non-compliance. The case is tied to complaints that Raina’s show contained insensitive remarks about persons with disabilities and involved issues raised by petitions, including those connected to the high cost of treatment for spinal muscular atrophy. NDTV and others also report that the court reduced a previously higher proposed penalty after Raina’s lawyer sought leniency. The court orders the Rs 3 lakh cost to be deposited within a specified timeframe of two weeks and warns of a steeper penalty if it is not satisfied at the next hearing. One outlet adds that the Supreme Court imposes costs not only on Raina but also on four other comedians for similar non-compliance with the reparation order.
