Supreme Court reprimands the producer of ‘Ghooshkhor Pundit’
Justice B.V. Nagarathna’s bench strongly reprimanded the producer of ‘Ghushkhor Pandit’ and said – it is wrong to insult any class. There is already so much rift in the society. Don’t encourage it. The court issued a notice and said that you have said about changing the name, tell us what name you are going to keep? Also tell whether there is anything objectionable about any class in your film or not?
The next hearing of this case will be on 19 February.
Netflix had asked the High Court to change the title
Earlier on Tuesday, Delhi High Court had heard a petition demanding a ban on the release and streaming of Netflix’s film ‘Ghooskhor Pandit’. It has been argued in the petition that the title of the film and its proposed content are defamatory and communally objectionable. During the hearing, Netflix told the court that the makers are ready to change the name of the film. The platform assured the bench that the title would be changed. He also said that all the promotional material related to the film has already been removed from social media. After this, the court resolved the matter.
The court had said that now there is no reason to give any further order on this petition. Netflix and makers agreed to change the name of the film. On this basis, the court considered the matter settled and rejected the petition to stop the release of ‘Ghooskhor Pandit’.
Let us tell you, the petitioner had told the court that the title ‘Ghooskhor Pandit’ harms the image of Hindu priests and a particular community and can be socially and communally inflammatory. The petition demanded an immediate ban on the release and online streaming of the film.
