The highest court in India, said that it will hear the matter tomorrow and possibly can pass an order if the petitioner brings on record that what the film depicts is highly objectionable.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi refused the plea of the petitioner, a Congress activist, that the copy of the film should be given to him.
At the outset, the CJI said the film is not yet certified.
The Supreme Court today said that it cannot pass an order at least at this stage on a plea seeking a stay on the release of a biopic on PM Narendra Modi as the Censor Board was yet to certify the film.
The Supreme Court will hear the matter tomorrow and possibly can pass an order if the petitioner brings on record that what the film depicts is highly objectionable.
Senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for the Congress activist, said the producer Sandeep Singh had come out with a statement that the biopic would be released on April 11.
However, the bench said the producer may have come out with such a statement on the release of the biopic on April 11 anticipating that the film would get the certification by then from the Censor Board.
As of now, there is no cause of action for challenging the release of the film.
