The Delhi High Court has stayed the release of the film ‘Udaipur Files’, which is based on the famous Udaipur Kanhaiyalal murder case. The bench of Justice D.K. Upadhyay and Justice Anish Dayal, while hearing 3 petitions including that of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Arshad Madani, put an interim stay on the release of the film. It was said in the petition that the Muslims of the country are being defamed through this film. The film can spoil communal harmony. Many scenes of the film are going to provoke emotions, so the release of the film should be stopped. In its order, the court told the petitioner to register his objection to the film before the central government within 2 days. At the same time, the central government should take a decision on the petitioner’s application within a week using its revision powers under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act. The court said that until the central government takes a decision on the petitioner’s application, the ban on the release of the film will continue. The case is pending for three years, when will justice be served? After the ban on the release of the film, Kanhaiyalal’s son Yash Teli expressed disappointment. Yash Teli said- On one hand, the hearing and decision on the ban on the movie are done so quickly, on the other hand, my father’s killers have not been punished yet. The case is pending for 3 years, when will justice be served? Actually, the film ‘Udaipur Files’ was going to be released on Friday (11 July) on about 3500 screens across the country, which also included three major cinemas of Udaipur. Now it has been banned. 1 day ago, the Supreme Court had refused to ban it. A petition was also filed in the Supreme Court by Mohammad Javed, the accused in the Kanhaiyalal murder case, to ban the film.
