After the Delhi High Court, it is the Supreme Court which has dismissed charges of obscenity against MF Husain.

The apex court threw out an appeal against a May 8 Delhi High Court order that had quashed criminal proceedings against Husain while deploring the “new puritanism” in India.
“There are so many such subjects, photographs and publications. Will you file cases against all of them?” Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan wondered. “What about temple structures?”
He added: “It (Husain’s work) is art. If you don’t want to see it, don’t see it. There are so many such art forms in temple structures.”
The chief justice couldn't have put it better and herein lies the message for all those whose hypersensitive feathers always end up ruffled by endeavours, like those of Hussain: if you don't want to see it, then don't see it.
