Supreme Court slaps a fine on Samay Raina
In other news, the Supreme Court of India has fined Samay Raina Rs 3 lakh over the India’s Got Latent case. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has asked him to pay the amount within two weeks and file a compliance affidavit, warning that the fine could jump to Rs 30 lakh if he doesn’t comply.
The court noted that Raina hadn’t kept his earlier promises, which included working with the Cure SMA Foundation and inviting people with disabilities to his shows as part of a disability-awareness initiative. Calling this a “brazen violation” of its orders, the bench didn’t hold back, saying the comedian had “taken the court for a ride.”
