The Supreme Court today rejected the plea of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh governments against the release of film ‘Padmaavat’ in the two states.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, refused to modify its earlier order on the issue and paved way for the screening of the movie on the 25th of this month.
It said people must understand that the apex court has passed the order and they must abide by it. The court said, states must ensure that law and order prevails.
The Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh governments had moved the court yesterday saying that Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act empowers them to stop the exhibition of any controversial movie on the grounds of possible violation of law and order.
