Actress
Khushboo
got
a
legal
relief
on
Thursday
when
the
Supreme
Court
stayed
the
order
of
Madras
High
Court
transferring
all
the
23
cases
to
Chennai
Metropolitan
Magistrate
Court
for
trial.
A
bench
headed
by
Justice
KG
Balakrishnan
issued
notices
to
some
of
the
pro
PMK
and
VCK
outfits,
who
had
alleged
that
the
actress's
remarks
denigrated
Tamil
women.
The
Madras
High
Court
on
April
30
had
declined
to
quash
the
cases
registered
against
her
and
asked
the
City
Metropolitan
Magistrate
to
complete
the
trial
within
6
months.
Khushboo
in
her
appeal
against
the
order
of
Madras
High
Court,
alleged
that
the
cases
were
false
and
frivolous,
filed
with
the
sole
view
of
getting
some
cheap
political
publicity
by
certain
group.
She
also
said
that
cases
were
filed
when
the
by-election
was
slated
in
the
state
at
the
time
of
October
2005.
She
argued
that
the
cases
were
against
the
freedom
of
expression
guaranteed
to
the
individuals
under
the
constitution.
After
getting
the
order
from
Madras
High
Court,
the
actress
worried
a
lot
and
feared
that
getting
justice
might
delayed
a
lot
due
to
the
order.
So
she
personally
visited
Delhi
and
appealed
in
the
Apex
Court
against
the
Madras
High
Court's
order.
Khushboo
had
given
interview
to
a
Tamil
weekly
in
September
2005
on
pre-Marital
sex
and
advocated
and
suggested
for
a
safe
sex
before
marriage
to
avoid
AIDS
and
other
sexual
deceases.
Pattali
Makkal
Katchi
and
Viduthalai
Chiruthaigal
Katchi
opposed
her
suggestion
and
staged
protests
against
the
actress.
Hundreds
of
Women
stood
with
broomsticks
in
front
of
her
house
to
show
their
opposition
to
the
actress
for
her
vies
on
sex.
But
stood
by
her
words
and
never
withdrew
her
statement.
