Madurai,April 13: In a relief to Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court today upheld the order of a lower court dismissing a criminal complaint against her for her comments on pre-marital sex.
Sen, a former Miss Universe, had landed in legal trouble for her comments in a TV interview that “No male or female in India is having chastity or virginity.”
A plain reading of the interview given by Sen to a TV channel showed that she had answered a question relating to her personal life and it reflected only a personal opinion, Justice G.M.Akbar Ali observed.
Dismissing a Criminal Revision Case filed against a city judicial magistrate’s dismissal of a criminal complaint against her for her comments on pre-marital sex,the judge said the lower court had rightly considered all aspects.
