The Supreme Court of India on August 14, 2026, quashed all criminal proceedings and FIRs against comedian Samay Raina and four others regarding controversial remarks made on the show 'India's Got Latent'.
The bench, led by senior judges, dismissed the complaints filed in various jurisdictions, noting that the remarks did not constitute criminal hate speech or intent to incite violence against disabled persons.
This verdict provides immediate legal relief to the accused, effectively ending the ongoing police investigations and court summons that had been pending since the show's broadcast earlier this year.
