The Delhi High Court has ordered the immediate removal of the song 'Volume 1' by singers Honey Singh and Badshah, released in 2006-07 under their collaboration Mafia Mundeer. The court deemed the song 'grossly vulgar,' 'obscene,' and 'derogatory towards women,' stating that it normalizes the treatment of women as objects of ridicule and sexual gratification. This ruling followed a petition from the Hindu Shakti Dal, which argued that the song's lyrics were offensive and harmful, particularly to minors. The court noted that allowing the song to remain accessible online under the guise of artistic freedom was unacceptable. The bench expressed that this case shocked the court's conscience, highlighting the need to protect societal values and norms. The singers have been directed to remove the song from all platforms, with the next hearing set for May 7.
