NEW DELHI -- A court issued arrest warrants for Hollywood actor Richard Gere and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Thursday, saying their kiss at a public function "transgressed all limits of vulgarity," media reports said.

Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in the northwestern city of Jaipur after a local citizen filed a complaint charging that the public display of affection offended local sensibilities, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

Gupta earlier viewed television footage of the event, which he called "highly sexually erotic," saying the pair violated India's strict public obscenity laws.

Gere and Shetty "transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society," PTI quoted the judge as saying.

Such cases against celebrities — often filed by publicity seekers — are common in conservative India. They add to a backlog of legal cases that has nearly crippled the country's judicial system.

Wow, what happens if they have a "wardrobe malfunction" during halftime of the championship cricket match over there? Do they just take the guilty party out back and beat them senseless?

I would be in trouble there as I think Indian women are particularly hot.

If we are to believe a particularly awful urban legend, one can only assume that Richard was in trouble for trying to find the largest rodents on the planet for his tailpipe. This actress scandal is a cover. Rumor has it, he was rowing the Willamette for nutria a few years back.

If Gere is really into girls, and not the habitrail crowd, yes, Chickenjuggler, I could understand a problem developing for quite a few of us. As with music, you have shown refined and unique taste. It is not difficult to see why England thought it such a splendid idea to add them to the empire.

Here's the kiss! You be the Judge:

Can you blame him? Indian Women are some of the HOTTEST on the planet. Shilpa Shetty:

It is safe to say that she could eat an infinite number of crackers in an infinite number of beds. Some folks have disagreed with the international actions of celebrities, but I am pretty sure, illegal or not, Richard spoke quite eloquently for all of us.
