The Bombay High Court's ruling protects the artistic works of renowned Indian artists F. N. Souza and Akbar Padamsee from destruction by customs, pending further judgment.
Mustafa Karachiwala, who purchased the seized artworks online for over £8,000, argues that the customs' claim of obscenity is legally unfounded and lacks proper artistic understanding.
Karachiwala's legal team emphasizes that the customs decision exhibits a blatant disregard for previous Supreme Court rulings on artistic expression and the importance of relying on art experts.
Souza and Padamsee's esteemed artistic backgrounds highlight the controversy, as both artists have achieved significant recognition, with Souza's work recently selling for $4.8 million at auction.
