Court orders seizing of 2 MF Husain paintings
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|January 22, 2025
A Delhi court has ordered the seizing of two paintings by renowned artist MF Husain on a complaint that the art pieces in question depict Hindu deities in an "objectionable" manner.
NEW DELHI:
Judicial magistrate first class Sahil Monga of Patiala House court passed the order on Monday.
DAG, formerly known as Delhi Art Gallery —the art gallery that displayed the paintings—said in a statement that it is "reviewing the situation and seeking counsel".
The complainant, Delhi high court advocate Amita Sachdeva, claimed that when she visited DAG on December 4, 2024 and attended a gallery exhibition titled Husain: The Timeless Modernist, she came across several paintings that depicted Hindu gods and goddesses "in an offensive manner".
She claimed that such paintings outrage religious feelings and cause spiritual and emotional distress to devotees.
