The Delhi High Court on Wednesday permitted the withdrawal of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) concerning YoYo Honey Singh's latest release, "Maniac", amidst controversy over alleged vulgarity and objectification of women. A bench consisting of Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela expressed reluctance to entertain the plea, urging the petitioner instead to pursue alternative legal remedies, including filing an FIR if the content indeed constituted obscenity.
