Chandigarh: A court here has issued notice to Bollywood actor Aamir Khan seeking his response by December 19 on a petition alleging that he promoted homosexuality on his popular TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate.’
Admitting the petition by advocate Mandeep Kaur, the court of civil judge Jaswinder Singh on Friday had issued notice to Aamir Khan to file a reply by December 19. In her petition, Ms Kaur alleged that Aamir’s conduct on his show was a violation of the Supreme Court order on homosexuality.
Through the petition, she sought the court’s intervention to declare the Aamir’s act a contempt of court. The show, which was telecast on October 19, had discussed the lifestyle and rights of eunuchs and gays/lesbians, a matter on which the SC had already given its judgement, she said.
