Tamil Nadu police today informed the
Madras High Court Bench that a case had been registered
against IPL organisers for arranging and telecasting
"uncensored and indecent show by semi-nude dancers" during the
inauguration of the tournament.Counsel for BCCI, who was also included as respondent,
opposed the FIR and said it was registered only to satisfy the
court, which had only ordered them to consider the
representation of the petitioner.Justice N Kirubakaran, in a suo moto order, directed that
Information and Broadcasting Ministry also be included as a
respondent and posted the case for further hearing on Sept 5.BCCI counsel described the case as "an exceptional one"
and said police should not have registered it without proper
investigation. BCCI said they were not responsible as they
were not directly involved in arranging the inaugural and had
engaged "some other person" to organise it.Petitioner's counsel Peter Ramesh Kumar wondered how
police had allowed such "obscene" scenes to be enacted in
public and also telecast globally when they do not permit
street plays on Lord Muruga's celestial wedding with Valli in
small villages.Another petitioner K Jebakumar, an advocate, submitted
that when thousands of children and youngsters came for the
IPL inaugural, the function was "celebrated" by celebrities
from the sporting and tinsel world by singing and dancing.Police should have registered cases against dancers in
"obscene dress" and others under IPC sec 292,293,294 (read
with 109 (Indecent representation of women(Prohibition act)and
Young persons(Harmful publications act/Foreigners act and pass
port act(for violation of visa conditions), he said.Government counsel said cases had been registered as per
the complaint.The court had already issued a direction to consider the
complaint given earlier by the petitioner. But police had not
taken any action for such open obscene display."Hence the court should invoke its inherent power and
direct the DGP to register a case against the accused and
investigate the case as per law," he said.Among the respondents mentioned in the petition were
Bollywood actors Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, Rajiv
Shukla of IPL and BCCI president Srinivasan.
