Tolly problem a civil dispute: State to HC
Kolkata: In an appeal in the Tollywood directors' issue, where fresh representations were directed to the secretary of the information and cultural affairs department by the single bench of the Calcutta High Court, the state moved a division bench, claiming it to be a "civil dispute among trade unions" with no state role in it.
A group of Tollywood directors had filed multiple contempt cases, alleging despite the court's order on April 3, the Federation of Cine Technicians and Workers Eastern India (FCTWEI) continued to interfere.
The senior standing counsel representing the state said the problem was between private entities and no grievance was against the state. So, it could not be dealt with under Article 226 of the Constitution, which gave power to high courts to issue writs for enforcing fundamental rights.

The division bench of Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty and Justice Reetobroto Kumar Mitra pointed out that in July 2024, "the state or at least the functionaries of the state already interfered", referring to the proposal of a review committee amid an impasse in Tollywood. The senior standing counsel contended that the committee was merely a proposal and was never formed on paper.
The division bench did not pass any direction and will further hear the arguments of the counsels representing the director.

The HC directed the department's secretary to ensure the "right to life and business, trade and profession" of the directors was not interfered with.
In case of any interference or difficulty faced by directors, they have been asked to report to the secretary, who would take immediate remedial steps. Justice Amrita Sinha gave this order in response to the directors' contempt cases.
