New Delhi, July 16 (UNI) The Supreme Court today adjourned the hearing on petitions related to the controversial movie 'Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder', noting that the Union government is scheduled to hear revision petitions against the CBFC certification of the film today.
A bench of justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi observed that it expected the Centre’s committee to take a decision “immediately, without loss of time,” and posted the matter for further hearing next Monday, considering the urgency expressed by the filmmakers.
The court was hearing two petitions, one filed by Mohammad Javed, an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, seeking to restrain the film’s release, citing prejudice to his fair trial, and another by the producers of the film challenging the Delhi High Court’s stay order on its release.
