Sixteen years after a complaint led to a case against actor Shekhar Suman and comedian Bharti Singh, the Bombay High Court has quashed the FIR, providing relief to both artists. The case dates back to 2010, when a complaint was filed over allegedly offensive remarks made during an episode of 'Comedy Circus Ka Jadoo' on Sony TV. The complaint, lodged by a representative of Raza Academy, accused Singh of making a joke about a Quranic verse, with Suman being implicated due to his association with the episode. However, the court clarified that the roles of Suman and Singh were 'too remote' to be held liable for any alleged offenses, and no evidence of deliberate or malicious intent was found. Expressing his relief, Suman stated he was unaware of the ongoing case and criticized the misuse of legal proceedings for publicity. He thanked the judge for dismissing the case, emphasizing the importance of judicial resources and the need to protect innocent individuals from unnecessary legal troubles.
