"The bench said that the issue as to whether words used by the petitioner while performing on stage were deliberate/malicious to invoke Section 295A would be subject to investigation," Maan’s counsel Arshdeep Singh Cheema said.

“As a humble Sikh and a sensitive citizen, the petitioner made a widely circulated public apology. His words ought to be interpreted in the total background of his lifelong devotion to Sikh Gurus and the principles of Sikhism,” the plea says.
