As per reports, a case was registered against the makers at the district court of Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh. The lawyer from Shivpuri has filed an FIR in the CJM Court. The matter is set to come up for hearing on October 1.
The FIR was registered based on a complaint filed by a Madhya Pradesh-based lawyer. The complaint against the show accuses producers of disrespecting the court.
 
The case was in reference to an episode that aired on January 19, 2020, and had a repeat telecast on April 24, 2021. The lawyer claims that it has been shown in the episode that a character is under the influence of alcohol in a courtroom set. According to him, this has brought disgrace to the court.
 
 
The lawyer reportedly said, “The Kapil Sharma Show that is being aired on Sony TV is sloppy. They also make lewd comments on women. In one of the episodes, a court was set up on the stage and the actors were seen drinking alcohol in public. This is contempt of court. That’s why I have demanded registration of FIR against the culprits under Section 356/3 in the court. Such display of sloppiness should be stopped.”
“In the courtroom scene, the co-star comes onstage with a bottle of liquor and urges other people to taste it,” the lawyer said while interacting with reporters. “This scene outrages the dignity of the court. It should have also featured a statutory warning, which it did not.”

 
The Kapil Sharma Show is hosted by comedian Kapil Sharma. Apart from Kapil, the show stars Sumona Chakravarti, Bharti Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Sudesh Lehri, and Archana Singh. After being off-air for almost seven months, TKSS returned to TV screens on August 21.
