The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would examine the framing of guidelines to stop circulation of racist or communal jokes on internet after petitions sought blocking of jokes on Sardars.
The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee said students should be sensitised not to circulate jokes that portray any community or sociological group as a butt of jokes.
The committee said it was against jokes ridiculing people from Punjab, Bihar and northeastern states.
A bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur told petitioner Harvinder Chowdhury and senior advocate R S Suri, who appeared for the Gurudwara management committee, to suggest possible guidelines in six weeks.
