Sardarji Jokes: Court Refuses To Issue Moral Guidelines For Citizens 

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it can't issue any direction on the petition seeking ban on jokes on Sikhs saying that the courts cannot lay down moral guidelines for the citizen.

"We cannot issue guidelines to regulate individuals," the court said.

"Even if we issue guidelines who will control it," the court said, HT reported.

The court will pass an order on March 27.

Advocate Harvinder Choudhary had filed a plea seeking ban on such jokes as they portray the Sikh community in negative light and wanted such websites, which disseminate such 'insensitive' jokes, to be prosecuted under laws that carry a prison term of six months to five years.
