NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a plea challenging the Rajasthan high court's stay on the release of the film Udaipur Files : Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder, despite the movie receiving clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification ( CBFC ).
The petition was filed by the film's producer, who approached the apex court seeking an urgent hearing. Senior advocate Gaurav Bhatia mentioned the matter before the bench on behalf of the filmmaker.
Speaking on the development, Advocate Pulkit Agarwal said, “We have pleaded that the high court's order, which has stayed the release of the movie, needs to be set aside. We have prayed to the Supreme Court to grant the release of this movie.”
Agarwal further added that the court had orally observed that the matter would be listed for hearing within two to three days.
The Rajasthan high court had earlier put a stay on the release of the film, which is based on the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur , a case that had drawn nationwide outrage.
The petitioner contends that with CBFC certification already granted, there are no legal grounds to prevent the release.
