Sushmita's comments put her in the dock

'Pre-marital sex' comments put Sushmita in dock

Madurai, December19: After Kushboo, Shilpa Shetty and Reema Sen, it is now the turn of former Miss Universe turned-Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen to land in legal trouble over comments on 'pre-marital sex.'

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court issued notice to her on Tuesday while admitting a criminal revision petition taking exception to her comments that 'no Indian has chastity or virginity anymore'. She purportedly said this in a TV interview. The petition was filed by Advocate S.Greesh Kumar following which Justice A Selvam issued notices to her and Tamil daily Thinathanthi which published the transcript of the interview. The petition was earlier dismissed by a judicial magistrate after conducting an inquiry into the complaint lodged by Kumar under IPC sections 292(A) (printing of grossly indecent and scurrilous matter or matter intended for blackmail), 293 (sale of obscene objects to young persons), Sec 509 (word gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman). It was dismissed on the ground that there was no prima facie material or evidence to come to the conclusion that the Sushmitha sen would have made those comments. The High court judge, however, admitted it after Kumar went on an appeal. Petitioner submitted Sushmita Sen was Miss Universe and now a Bollywood actress. Her comments were widely reported by various TV channels and published in the Thinathanthi. The other actresses Kushboo, Shilpa Shetty and Reema Sen also faced similar petitions in the past. Kumar said his petition was dismissed by the Magistrate stating that Sushmita Sen was not important, and only the Thinathanthi editor was the main witness for the publication on November7, 2006. The actress had given her opinion knowing fully well that it would be published and telecast. "Her interview is demoralising the moral fabric of India."

Praying for setting aside the Magistrate's order dismissing his writ petition, Kumar requested the court to direct the Magistrate to issue summons to Sushmitha, and the Thinathanthi editor
