The Delhi High Court has issued a legal notice to Honey Singh, Badshah, and all rights holders, directing the immediate removal of Volume 1 from all digital platforms. The court slammed the song’s lyrics as “grossly vulgar” and “dehumanising” towards women, warning that such content cannot be justified as artistic expression.

The conscience of the Delhi High Court was shaken to the core after they heard Honey Singh and Badshah's Volume 1. On Thursday, the Delhi High Court asked for the removal of the controversial song from all digital platforms, calling it "obscene." Since there has been much controversy about who sang the song, the plea in the High Court claimed that it was Honey Singh, as he sang a few verses from it in one of his recent concerts.

On Thursday, the Court asked Badshah and Honey Singh, along with anyone else who claims the rights to the song or its remixes, to immediately take it down from all social media handles, music platforms, or any online location. This decision came after Hindu Shakti Dal's plea against the derogatory song and the deletion of videos and audios of the song from social platforms.

As per Live Law, Justice Purushaindra Kaurav claimed the lyrics of Mafia Mundeer's Volume 1 were "grossly vulgar, obscene, derogatory" towards women. He further claimed that any civil society would not allow such content to remain on digital platforms.

The court noted, "This is one of the rare cases where the conscience of the court is shocked to its absolute core. It is one of those unfortunate instances where the court finds that the song is grossly vulgar, patently obscene, and derogatory towards women, artistic values, and social norms. The lyrics are not merely disrespectful or offensive but are ex facie calculated to normalise the treatment of women as objects of ridicule and sexual gratification."
