M.F. Husain gets relief from Supreme Court

New Delhi: Painter M.F. Husain on Monday got a major relief from the Supreme Court which refused to initiate criminal proceedings against him for allegedly hurting public sentiments through some of his paintings, which were dubbed obscene. “There are many such pictures, paintings and sculptures and some of them are in temples also,” a Bench headed by Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan said, dismissing one such petition. It was not impressed with the argument that Mr. Husain was taking advantage of his age and reputation to get away with punishment. — PTI
