‘Emergency’ to miss September 6 release; Bombay HC refuses to direct CBFC to issue certificate immediately
Zee Entertainment Enterprises moved the Bombay High Court seeking a direction to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue the certificate for the film “Emergency”
In a major setback to the makers of Kangana Ranuat’s film ‘Emergency’, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday refused to direct the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue a certificate to the film. The High Court’s decision was based on the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s order on September 3, 2024, which had asked the CBFC to decide on the representations made by the Jabalpur Sikh Sangat, the petitioners in the case, who have objected to the release of the film and its trailer.
The Bombay HC has ordered the CBFC to consider the objections raised by the petitioners and decide by September 18. The matter has been posted for further hearing on September 19.
