A
court
has
issued
notice
to
Bollywood
actor
Aamir
Khan
seeking
his
response
by
December
19
on
a
petition
alleging
that
he
promoted
homosexuality
on
his
popular
TV
show
Satyamev
Jayate.
Admitting
the
petition
by
advocate
Mandeep
Kaur,
the
court
of
civil
judge
Jaswinder
Singh
on
Friday
had
issued
notice
to
Aamir
Khan
to
file
a
reply
by
December
19.
In
her
petition,
Kaur
alleged
that
Aamir
Khan's
conduct
on
his
show
Satyamev
Jayate
was
a
violation
of
the
Supreme
Court
order
on
homosexuality.
Through
the
petition,
she
sought
the
court's
intervention
to
declare
Khan's
act
a
contempt
of
court.
The
show,
which
was
telecast
on
October
19
on
a
private
channel,
had
discussed
the
lifestyle
and
rights
of
eunuchs
and
gays/lesbians,
a
matter
on
which
the
Supreme
Court
had
already
given
its
judgement,
she
said.
Kaur
alleged
that
the
actor
in
his
show
had
asked
the
public
to
vote
for
amendments
in
Section
377
of
the
IPC
(gays/lesbians
as
illegal).
The
actor
has
been
seen
promoting
Section
377
of
the
IPC
in
favour
of
rights
of
homosexuals,
which
was
against
the
law
of
the
land,
the
petitioner
alleged.
She
alleged
that
the
actor
had
promoted
a
criminal
offence
on
television
through
his
show.
Kaur
said
that
she
had
sent
a
legal
notice
to
the
actor
on
October
19
itself
seeking
an
unconditional
apology
from
him
with
24
hours
after
the
telecast
of
the
show,
but
she
received
no
response
from
him.
