The Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to hear two petitions seeking a stay on the release of the film The Taj Story or changes in its certification. Delhi High Court advised the petitioners to file a review petition with the Central Government under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act.,

The certification given to the film was challenged

The petition was filed by Shakeel Abbas in Delhi High Court. They allege that facts have been distorted in the film and it can serve as a means of spreading communal propaganda. Both of them had challenged the certificate given by the Central Board of Film Certification.

During the hearing, when the petitioners asked the court to at least change the disclaimer of the film, Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay asked whether we are a super censor board. He said that the court has its own limits and work can be done within the limits of the provisions of the law.

The court said to appeal to the central government in this matter

Delhi High Court said that there is no right to review the decision of the Censor Board in the Cinematograph Act 1952, hence such a direction cannot be given. The court allowed the petitioners to withdraw their petition and file a review petition with the Central Government.

The court also clarified that it has not given any opinion on the content of the film and if a petition is given to the Central Government, it will be decided as per law.

The petitioner had accused him of distorting history.

The petitioners in the Delhi High Court had alleged that the producers, directors and actors of the film are continuously making controversial films, due to which history is being distorted and there is a possibility of spreading tension in the society. The film The Taj Story is going to be released on 31st October.

Delhi High Court has rejected the petition filed against actor Paresh Rawal’s film ‘The Taj Story’. The High Court reprimanded the petitioner and said that he should first file a revision application with the Central Government against the Censor Board certificate given to the film.

The High Court said in its order that it is not a super censor board. The judge raised the question why the application was not filed with the Central Government before coming to the High Court? He also raised the question as to why the petitioner made actor Paresh Rawal a party in the petition? Where does the actor have responsibility regarding the content of the film?

What did Delhi High Court say in the matter

Delhi High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela heard this petition. During this he said, “Are we a super censor board?”

However, the petitioner said that the court has sufficient powers. On this, the Chief Justice said, “Try to understand our limitations. We are not a super censor board. The difficulty in such cases is that sometimes allegations are made against the parties and lawyers. Avoid this. You have to present your case within the ambit of the Act. Please point out any violation of the rules.”

The petitioner withdrew the petition

After rebuke from the High Court, the petitioner has withdrawn the petition. This has cleared the way for the release of the film. The film ‘Taj Story’ is going to be released on 31st October. In this, Paresh Rawal will be seen playing the role of a lawyer.

Lawyer Shakeel Abbas had filed a public interest litigation in the Delhi High Court. The petitioner’s lawyer said that history was distorted in the film. The film may worsen the communal atmosphere.

The petitioner has said, ‘Both the Central Government and the Censor Board are aware of the possible side effects of the film. Despite this he did not take any step. The Censor Board should be instructed to review the certificate of the film again. If necessary, an adult certificate should be given or orders should be given to remove some scenes.
