The Delhi High Court has ordered a complete ban on the controversial song Volume 1 by Yo Yo Honey Singh and Badshah, directing that it be removed from all platforms.
The bench of Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav said that the song must not be available anywhere online—not even in parts, clips, or lyrics. The Court made it clear that social media platforms, music apps, and the Central government must ensure a complete takedown.
The judge noted that after listening to the song, the content was so disturbing that it “shocked the conscience of the court.” He described it as obscene, highly disrespectful towards women, and lacking any artistic or social value.
According to the Court, the lyrics promote objectification of women and cannot be allowed to remain in public circulation. It stressed that such content has no place in a civilised society.
The Court also took note of a recent concert where Honey Singh allegedly performed parts of the song. As a result, notices have been issued to both artists, asking them to remove the song from their personal platforms as well.
The order came while hearing a petition filed by an organisation called Hindu Shakti Dal.
The Court further directed that if any links or versions of the song appear online in the future, they must be reported to the authorities, who should act immediately to block them.
