Intolerance against artistic expression does not befit civilized country like India: Kerala High Court

The Court, therefore, said that it’s interference in the matter is no longer required.

However, before closing the petition, the Court remarked that Varghese’s complaint was rather uncharitable.

In the case at hand, the complaint of the petitioner – that the depiction of concealment of a gun in a book that may resemble the Holy Bible, is an affront to the religious faith of Christians – is, in my view, rather uncharitable, because even in the original statement filed on behalf of the ‘Board’, it has been averred that the competent Committee did not feel the scene to be contemptuous of racial, religious or other groups; and that during the review screening, the members of the Committee did not even notice the Bible, because the scene was a fleeting one, without any reference to any particular scripture“, the judgment stated.
