On this, the Bombay High Court dismissed the complaint saying that he did not possess such an intention. The judge said that musician Kher, by singing the song 'Babam Bam', did not mean to offend anybody's religious sentiments.
A complaint was made by one Narinder Makkar against the singer in a local court in Ludhiana. The complaint was that religious sentiments were deliberately offended. The complainant presented himself as a devotee of Lord Shiva and said that the song by Kher, 'Babum Bam' in praise of Lord Shiva, has an obscene video in which women in short clothes kiss each other.
Dismissing the complaint filed in the area judicial magistrate in Ludhiana, the High Court said that the lyrics of the song sung by Kher are nothing but praise of Lord Shiva. The court said that every act which is disliked by a particular class does not necessarily incite religious sentiments.
