Supreme Court orders no corrective action against Poonam Pandey

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court granted interim protection to actress and model Poonam Pandey from arrest in a porn video case. The case is linked to Shilpa Shetty's husband, Raj Kundra. Justice Vineet Saran and Justice BV Nagaratna passed the order on Poonam Pandey's plea. The Bombay High Court had rejected the request. "No punitive action should be taken against the appellant (Poonam Pandey). Instead, a notice should be issued," the apex court said.

Advocate Aditya Chopra and Advocate on Record Soyab Qureshi and Advocate Sandeep Bajaj argued before the bench on behalf of Pandey.

The High Court had last year rejected the application

Poonam Pandey had applied to the court for anticipatory bail in a porn racket the previous year. Shilpa Shetty's husband, Raj Kundra, was arrested in the case. The Bombay High Court rejected Poonam's plea on November 25, 2021. Poonam then appealed to the Supreme Court.

Poonam's videos have been blocked.

Poonam said in her application that she was not a partner or owner of any of these platforms, but there was a complaint against her that there were some videos of her on some sites. She was not the accused in the case but the victim. He claimed that in 2015, the central government blocked all his videos on some pornographic sites.

Poonam-Shirley made the video for commercial gain.

Two months ago, Raj Kundra's advocate Prashant Patil said, "The prosecutor wants to argue that the video of Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey is a criminal subject. Sherlyn and Poonam said that they made the videos themselves and did it for commercial gain.
