Ex-CJI snubs Shilpa in obscenity case
Y K Sabharwal snubbed Shilpa Shetty’s efforts to knock the doors of the SC, in connection with an obscenity case.

New Delhi: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty may be receiving bouquets for her appearance on the UK television show Big Brother, but back home, the actress is due for brickbats.

Outgoing Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal on Saturday, slighted Shilpa’s efforts to knock the doors of the Supreme Court, in connection with an obscenity case, through a letter.

“The doors of the Supreme Court can be knocked by the poor through PILs or letters but not by the rich and the mighty,” Sabharwal was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.

He said that Shilpa had written to him sometime back seeking some sort of guidelines for lawyers to deter them from filing "frivolous" cases against celebrities.

In her letter, the actress had said that such cases were being filed by vested interests only to harass celebrities.

A local court had in June issued arrest warrants against Shilpa and Reema Sen after Dakshinamoorthy, a Madurai-based advocate, had filed the case against the actresses, and Murugan, Editor of Tamil Murasu for publication of the "obscene" pictures.
