Delhi High Court Seeks Honey Singh Affidavit After Denial Over 'Volume 1' Performance

The case now tests how far courts can force platforms to erase old misogynistic content.

Overview

  • Honey Singh, who told the Delhi High Court on Thursday he never performed the track at a March 2025 Delhi concert, was directed to file an affidavit stating his position.
  • In an April 2 order, Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav called the lyrics grossly vulgar and ordered removal of the original, remixes, excerpts, lyrics, and short clips from platforms such as YouTube and Spotify.
  • The court asked the Union government to place on record a compliance report showing the takedown across social and streaming services.
  • Singh’s counsel rejected a claim that he sang before a crowd of about 50,000 and urged the petitioner to produce audio or video from the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium show.
  • The petition by Hindu Shakti Dal targets a 2006–07 track linked to the former Mafia Mundeer duo of Honey Singh and Badshah, and the court listed the matter for May 19.
