The Madras High Court on Wednesday rejected a Public Interest Litigation that sought to ban PeTA, alleging that PeTA had acted contrary to the “sovereignty and integrity of India by filing vexatious PILs against the sovereign powers of India, acted against general public interest and created disharmony between communities.” It also alleged that the PeTA website contained 'sexist advertisements' and that it had hosted “XXX porn site as a marketing endeavour”. However, the judges said, “On a perusal, we find nothing of this sort.”
