New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday released the ‘Udaipur files’ in a rare example of judicial intervention, which reports Abhinav Garg, to stop a film on the eve of its Pan-India inauguration. The film is allegedly based on the murder of 2022, the tailor of Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur.The court directed the Islamic Clear Body Zamit Ulema-I-Hind and other petitioners who have objected to the film to review its censor certificate. The Division Bench of Chief Justice DK Upadhyay and Justice Anish Dayal directed the petitioners to contact the Center within two days with their complaint. The bench said that the film will not be released until the Center calls his amendment petition.In June 2022, Kanhaiya Lal was assassinated to share a social media post in support of former BJP official Nupur Sharma after his controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammed.Nia arrested the alleged killers Mohammad Riyaz and Mohammed bribe. Their test is pending. The judges said, “It is also not impenetrable to this court to exercise extraordinary jurisdiction for this court, where a petitioner has not abolished his alternative statutory measures”. “But in relation to the facts and circumstances of the case … especially the procedures going in the time of grant of certification, we opinion that the petitioner should contact the central government by inviting Section 6 of the (Cinematograph) Act (Cinematograph) (cinematograph) (cinematograph) (which is related to the revision powers contained with the central village). During the hearing, senior advocate of the petitioners Kapil Sibal described the film as a “worst form of disgusting speech” and “an imminent threat to public order and harmony” against a community. He told the bench that he had seen the film at a private screening, as directed by the court. Citing some examples and dialogues, he said that the film was “not art but cinematic barbarity” to incite a community. One of the scenes that Sibal had highlighted was showing the arrest of Muslim students. In contrast, Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma, representing the Center, justified the censor board node and said that it was a film based on a crime, not to a community. “The film warns people. It is a crime-specific film. We all should live together-this is the subject,” Chetan Sharma argued.
