A bench of justices SK Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia asked the petitioner why the court should entertain the petition. The court also said that it does not find any merit in the petition.
The court denied to hear the petition and told the petitioner, "You don’t have to defend the entire community" and asked him to take care of him.
The petitioner submitted that in his show 'Bas Kar Bassi', comedian Bassi insulted the advocate community and hence the petitioner urged the court to take some action against him.
The petitioner has alleged that Bassi had allegedly portrayed the judiciary in a negative manner.
The show is available on OTT platform Amazon Prime.
In one of his episode, Bassi tells a story about a fresher, who is out of National Law University and arrives in Delhi as a young lawyer with dreams, ambition and friends. All he needs is some perspective and a lot of money but timing and bosses keep getting in his way.
