The
Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to stay the release of movie 'Udaipur
Files', based on tailor Kanhaiya Lal murder case, that is scheduled to hit the
screens tomorrow.
A
bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela
passed the order while dismissing a plea seeking movie's stay, saying the
petitioner failed to establish a prima facie case in his favour.
"Producer has already spent life earnings in
the film and if the movie is not released the balance of convenience will be
disturbed. Once a film has been certified by the Board and trial is not likely
to be effected by exhibition, we find ourselves unable to agree to prayer for
staying release of movie," the bench said.
On Wednesday, the Ministry of Information and
Broadcasting (MIB) dismissed all revision petitions challenging the
certification of the controversial film 'Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor
Murder', thereby clearing the path for its public release.
