New Delhi: The Supreme Court is not happy with condom manufacturers who use erotic pictures to attract buyers. A bench of the SC headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur has asked Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh to give all details about the use of such image to the apex court.
The court asked the ASG whether printing erotic pictures on condom packs and other sex enhancement products violate the laws against obscenity.
The court was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by manufacturers of condoms and contraceptives against a 2008 order of the Madras High Court.
As per a report in The Indian Express, the SC asked Singh to sift through case files containing “objectionable” pictures on packets of condoms and contraceptives. The apex court bench has reportedly given six-week time to Singh to file a reply in his regard and apprise the court whether the ads complied with advertising norms and the law against obscenity.
Twitter is abuzz with comments on the SC's intervention in the case.
