The producers stated that six cuts - as suggested by the Centre - had been made in the film, and a modified disclaimer had been included.
Noting the submission that the film's re-certification was pending, and one of the petitioners had requested an adjournment, a bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela agreed to hear the matter on July 30.
The petitions had been sent back to HC by Supreme Court (SC) hearing the plea of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind President Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case.
SC asked the petitioners to move HC against the Centre's revisional order permitting the film's release.
HC had earlier stayed the film's release, prompting its producers to approach SC. Last week, SC had pointed out that the filmmakers' appeal against the HC order staying the film's release no longer survived as they had accepted the July 21 Centre nod for the film's release, subject to six cuts in its scenes and modifications in the disclaimer.
On Monday, when HC asked the Centre's counsel if the movie had been re-certified, it was informed that the film had been approved with six cuts and one disclaimer, and the certification was pending. Javed's counsel sought an assurance that the movie wouldn't be released till the next date of hearing. HC said until re-certification, the producers cannot release the film anyway.
Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal was murdered in June 2022.

Did Sheikh Hasina Give ‘Shoot' Order Against Protesters? Here's What Leaked Audio Suggests

Last Updated: A spokesperson for the Awami League dismissed the allegations, arguing that the audio does not reflect any illegal orders or disproportionate action A leaked audio recording, verified by the BBC, linked former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to the deadly crackdown on student-led protests last year. In the recording, Hasina is reportedly heard instructing a senior official to deploy lethal force against demonstrators, saying security personnel should 'shoot wherever they find them (protesters)." The directive was allegedly given on July 18, 2024, while Hasina was at her official residence, Ganabhaban, in Dhaka. Hours later, law enforcement officers used military-grade weapons in operations across the capital, according to documents reviewed by the BBC. 1,400 Killed During Protest The United Nations estimates that over 1,400 people were killed during the suppression of protests, which erupted in response to a contentious quota policy for public sector jobs. The violence continued through July and August 2024. The events led to the collapse of Hasina's Awami League government. She left the country on August 5, 2024, and has remained in India since then. The Bangladeshi government has submitted a formal extradition request. Hasina now faces charges in a special tribunal in Bangladesh, where prosecutors intend to present the audio as primary evidence in the case. She is accused of ordering mass violence during the unrest. In her first public remarks since fleeing, Hasina denied authorising any use of force that resulted in deaths. Nevertheless, the leaked audio is seen by investigators as significant in establishing her direct involvement in the crackdown. A spokesperson for the Awami League dismissed the allegations, arguing that the audio does not reflect any illegal orders or disproportionate action, the BBC reported. Toby Cadman, a UK-based human rights lawyer advising Bangladesh's International Criminal Tribunal, said the audio will play a key role in the proceedings. 'The recordings are critical for establishing her role, they are clear and have been properly authenticated, and are supported by other evidence," he told the BBC. view comments First Published: July 09, 2025, 12:29 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
