LUCKNOW: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has issued notices to Union external affairs ministry, Australian Embassy, Press Council of India and an editor of a national Hindi daily in connection with the photographs of models wearing swimsuits with graffiti of Hindu goddesses, published in a newspaper on May 6.
The photographs were of Lisa Burke's swimsuit collection Lisa Blue displayed during the Australian Fashion Week on Thursday.
A division bench comprising Justice Abdul Mateen and Justice Jayshree Tiwari took cognizance after a group of advocates drew attention of the court toward the photographs published in the newspaper. The court converted it into a public interest litigation when advocates pointed out that the photographs had hurt the sentiments of Hindus.
