Jananayagam legal battle: Supreme Court to hear the case on censor clearance. CBFC statement
On this special report, Legal Editor Nalini Sharma provides details on the legal battle surrounding the film Jananayagam. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the case on January 15 after the producers challenged the Madras High Court order denying the Censor Board clearance. Nalini Sharma says that as per the previous High Court judgement, ‘the producers had created a false sense of urgency to bring the case to court.’ To avoid a repeat of this, the makers have reportedly not mentioned urgent listing of the case before the Chief Justice of India, instead opting to wait for the registry’s temporary schedule. The Central Board of Film Certification has already filed a caveat in the apex court to ensure that their side is heard before passing any order.
