No channel can telecast ads on religious items: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court
Mumbai: In a significant ruling, the Bombay High Court has held that no TV channel or actor must propagate advertisements to sell certain religious items with a claim that the product could enhance the lives of human beings. The high court has held that any TV channel, company or actor found promoting any such products would be prosecuted for cheating as well as under provisions of the Black Magic Act.
The two-judge bench of Justices Tanaji Nalawade and Mukund Sewlikar said it was every citizen s fundamental duty to develop a scientific temperament. This spirit of inquiry and reform, in turn, needs to be read into the Black Magic Act.
