Indian court clears exiled painter of obscenity
2|
The Delhi High Court Thursday dismissed criminal proceedings against painter M F Husain, who lives in self-imposed exile in London and Dubai and was alleged to have hurt public sentiments through some of his paintings.
Giving relief to the 91-year-old painter, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul said the allegations were baseless.
“A painter has his own perspective of looking at things and it cannot be the basis of initiating criminal proceedings against him,” Kaul said in his order.

Welcome news indeed. At least the courts have thwarted the plans of the religious extremists in India. Now we need to wait and watch as to what the so called protectors of Indian morality and sentiments will have to say to this decision.
It was nothing like criminal he committed; though he had been a little insensitive in his attitude towards a particular religion. May be a very insane personal point of view and projection Mr. Hussain has.
