Supreme Court hears plea on ‘Udaipur Files’ film release, weighing free speech against accused’s fair trial rights. Justices question CBFC cuts, Centre’s role, and prejudice to ongoing trial.
Today(26th Sept), the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) informed the Bombay High Court that Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’ can only be released if specific cuts suggested by the revising committee are made. This response follows a plea from Zee Studios seeking the release of the censor certificate, after the film’s initial September 6 release was postponed due to protests from the Sikh community over alleged misrepresentation.
