What really you can do in public and what really you can't. Who kisses in public in India? You don’t see people kissing in public all the time in India that's why the attention shifted away from that AIDs awareness programme to this kissing controversy.

"Times are changing. Gone are the days when sati was a noble act and it was norm to have something like dowry. Times are changing the way we dressed changes women are no longer related to kitchen only and made to stop working after marriage. Times are changing and moralities are changing and we have to keep up with those time," Pooja Bedi replied.

Criticising what Bedi's statement Poonam Chand said, "Here in our country parliament makes law. Discussion takes place and after that they have made the law. If you are kissing in a public place its an offence. If we don’t stop it then they will do it in other places too."

Once the government in the political establishment actually creates an environment where any bureaucrat can function as a moral policemen and it actually sets the tone for the rest of the society.

So the courts really are following what the govt is doing. Now if FTV can be banned for showing world’s sexiest advertisements what's wrong with the Jaipur court?

Answering the question Dushyant said, "The SC over the year's really re-defined the concept of obscenity and has said that the morality has to be understood with the changing perspectives in the society. It can't be that you look at Section 294 of the IPC in isolation. This act of Gere and Shilpa you have to look at the circumstances in which it took place the place in which it took place the magistrate has not considered anything."

Final results of the poll: Is kissing in public, in cinema such a crime, or is this a classic case of judicial over reach?
