India's Supreme Court has stayed a lower court order to seize the property of the country's celebrated artist M.F. Husain. The earlier order followed the artist's failure to attend a hearing, after a complaint filed by lawyer Arvind Shrivastava, a member of the hard-line group the Hindu Awakening Forum against the artist.
