New Delhi, Nov. 28 -- The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered comedian Samay Raina and four other social media influencers to host persons with disabilities (PwDs) at least twice every month, using their digital platforms and events to create awareness and generate funds for treatment of children suffering from rare disorders such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). "If you show repentance and commitment to the cause of specially abled persons, this will have a widespread positive effect," said a bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant. The direction came after the bench took strong exception to a video in which the comedians mocked people with disabilities, prompting the court to convert the controversy into an opportunity for reparative engagement rather than punitive action. "We will not impose a fine on you, provided you come with a proposal for donation to a very good institution. we don't want to impose a penal burden but you must discharge a social responsibility," the bench, also comprising justice Joymalya Bagchi, told the influencers after their counsel informed the bench that they had already filed affidavits tendering unconditional apology. Taking note of the proposal placed before it, the bench recorded: "The private respondents have proposed to organise at least two events a month to generate funds. They have also sought permission of this court to invite the persons whose success stories have been brought on record to these shows. We leave it to the respondents to pursue and invite the specially abled persons to the shows for the cause of generating funds." The bench added that if Raina, Sonali Thakkar, Vipul Goyal, Balraj Paramjit Singh Ghai and Nishant Jagdish Tanwar show repentance and the ability to contribute to the cause of specially abled persons, "these memorable events will have a widespread effect." The bench noted the submission of senior advocate Aparajita Singh, appearing for petitioner NGO Cure SMA India Foundation, who producedsuccess stories of children suffering from SMA and explained how the mockery damagedboth dignity and fundraising efforts....
