Today, the Supreme Court was to pass an order seeking a stay on the biopic, but they postponed it to Tuesday. The court states that the Censor Board hasn’t issued a certification and hence, the plea will be heard on Tuesday and in the meantime, the petitioner could bring on record what was objectionable in the movie.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi refused the petitioner’s plea and said, "Why should we direct that an individual be given a copy of the film."
The bench also comprising of Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna said, "Why should we direct that individual be given a copy of the film." Senior advocate A M Singhvi said that producer Sandeep Ssingh had released a statement that the biopic will release on April 11.
The bench stated that the producer may have given such a statement assuming that the film will get a certification from the Censor Board. The bench also stated that there is no cause of action or sufficient evidence to challenge its release.
Helmed by Omung Kumar, PM Narendra Modi film is produced by Sandeep Ssingh.
