Delhi High Court Orders Blanket Ban on Honey Singh and Badshah’s "Volume 1"

The Delhi High Court has ordered a blanket ban on the song "Volume 1" by Yo Yo Honey Singh and Badshah, directing the Central government and social media intermediaries to ensure its immediate removal.

The Court stated that the song’s "deeply vulgar" and "dehumanising" lyrics shocked the "conscience of the court to its absolute core."

The Court ruled that the track lacks artistic value and normalizes the treatment of women as objects for sexual gratification.

The mandate extends to remixes and snippets. This order grants liberty to the petitioners to flag any surfacing URLs for rapid government takedown.
