SC says he can not respond to a plea to stay on Biopic on Modi | India News

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court said Monday that she could not issue an order at this stage to request the suspension of the publication of a biographical film about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Censor Board has not yet certified the film.

The Supreme Court stated that it would hear the question tomorrow and that it could possibly make an order if the petitioner officially declared that what the film describes is highly reprehensible.

A court presided over by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi rejected the applicant's appeal, a congressional activist, that the copy of the film be given to him.

"Why should we order this person to receive a copy of the film," Judge Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna said.

"We do not understand why such a directive should be given," said the bench.

In the beginning, the CJI stated that the film was not yet certified.

Leading advocate AM Singhvi, who represents the congressional activist, said that producer Sandeep Singh had announced that the biopic would be made public on April 11.

Taking note of his observations, the court stated that the producer could have made this statement when publishing the biopic film on April 11, in the hope that the film would get the censorship board's certification.

The court declared that there was as yet no cause of action to dispute the release of the film.
