The ‘offended’ lawyer may only have been seeking his 15 minutes of fame, but what is more puzzling is the speed with which a Jaipur magistrate, Dinesh Gupta, admitted the case and issued a warrant for the arrest of Richard Gere because he found the kiss “highly sexually erotic” and this could “corrupt society.”
Corrupt society? How much more corrupt can it get? It will take more than 300 years to clear the backlog of cases in Indian courts. Our judges would do well to remember this when they next admit a case just because some sexually frustrated lawyer is offended by a kiss.
