Finally, the Satyamev Jayate TV show makers including Amir Khan Case of usage of Indian Emblem have now come to end.
Bombay High Court today discharged a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Manoranjan Roy which had asked for an act against the makers of TV show Satyamev Jayate for using a part of the emblem.
The requester, however, contended that the show makers had used part of the emblem which is the two words– “Satyamev Jayate“. The petitioner also claimed that even the usage of Satyamev Jayate by the state could not be allowed without the permission from union government as it was part of the emblem.
As per source, Bombay High Court has now quashed the petition and the bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice AA Sayed has dismissed the petition stating that using the motto is not a violation of the Act. Stating that the emblem has neither been imitated nor used in its entirety, Additional Solicitor general Anil Singh (Ministry of Home Affairs and Minister of Broadcasting) further clarified that the show uses only the motto ‘Satyamev Jayate’ and not the emblem as a whole.
Aamir Khan’s TV show ever since its first season gained popularity as it deals with several social issues in the country.
