SC declines to entertain plea against Madras HC stay on Vijay film ‘Jana Nayagan’

New Delhi, Jan 15, (UNI) The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to entertain a petition filed by the production house of Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan challenging an order of stay passed by a Division Bench of the Madras High Court on the film’s certification. A Bench headed by Justice Dipankar Datta questioned the “blistering pace” at which a single Judge of the High Court had directed the issuance of a censor certificate to the film on January 9. The Court noted that the producer had not even challenged the January 6 order of the Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), by which the film was referred to a revising committee.

Key Highlights

  • Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the production house KVN, submitted that his client had been “ruined” due to the delay in certification.
  • When Justice Datta asked why such a claim was being made, Rohatgi argued that films and the publicity surrounding them were “perishable commodities.” “If a film is delayed, people lose interest.
  • It stops having any value.
  • I have lost everything,” Rohatgi submitted.
  • The Bench, however, declined to interfere and asked Rohatgi to raise all his submissions before the Madras High Court Division Bench.
