First read about it in Deepak Iyer's post on Abinav Bhat, the law student from Pune who chose to file a case against Rediff.com. Then also saw a link to the news in Prem Panicker's blog. Abhinav Bhat can rightfully claim his place in history as one of the youngest moral poicemen in our country. Let me now list the probable outcomes of the whole proces:
1) Abhinav Bhatt has gained some fame, and that will linger probably for a few days from now (probably that is what he wanted);
2) Unfortunately, Rediff will have to spend some money seeking legal remedies. Abhinav Bhat "was" a law student when he filed the case in 2000. Now he might be a practicing lawyer now. So, this could be a route for him to get some more free publicity;
3) Apparently this complaint was first filed in June 2000. We can be relieved that it took "only" 9 years to reach this stage.
Oh God, when will the courts in our country start slapping penalties on such frivolities?
