The Supreme Court is slated to hear on Tuesday a plea of influencer Ranveer Allahbadia against the FIRs lodged over his alleged distasteful comments during a show on YouTube.
According to the cause list, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh is likely to take up the matter.
On Friday, Allahbadia's lawyer Abhinav Chandrachud, son of former chief justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, had mentioned the matter for urgent listing.
"I have assigned the bench and it will come up (before a bench) in two-three days," Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna had said when Chandrachud submitted that Assam Police has summoned Allahbadia for joining the probe during the day.
