The apex court also asked Allahbadia's lawyer to clarify the parameters of obscenity and vulgarity.

The court questioned Allahabadia's counsel:“If this is not obscenity, what is it? Why should we quash or club the FIRs against you?”

The Supreme Court, in its hearing today, said that such behaviour has to be condemned.

"Just because somebody thinks he has become so popular and can speak any kind of words, can he take the entire society for granted? Is there anyone on earth who will like this language? There is something very dirty in his mind which has been vomited," the apex court said.
