On Friday, a
Supreme Court
bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the filmmakers appeal against the high court order staying the release was infructuous as they accepted the July 21 order of the Centre clearing the release of the film subject to six cuts in its scenes and modifications in the disclaimer.
The bench further had said it has not expressed any opinion on merit and the high court can adjudicate the issue of stay of release of film.

It also directed Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, who is an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, to move the high court against the Centre's decision.
The
Delhi High Court
had stayed the film's release on a Madani's plea on July 10, invoking powers of the Central Government under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, till the representation is decided by the Central Government, for which the high court granted one week time.
The filmmakers claimed to have received a
Central Board of Film Certification
(CBFC) certificate with the board suggesting 55 cuts and the film was due to be released on July 11.
Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal was murdered in June 2022 allegedly by Mohammad Riyaz and Mohammad Ghous.
The assailants later released a video claiming that the murder was in reaction to the tailor allegedly sharing a social media post in support of former BJP member Nupur Sharma following her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed.
The case was probed by the
NIA
and the accused were booked under the stringent
Unlawful Activities Prevention Act
, besides provisions under IPC.
The trial is pending before the special NIA court in Jaipur.

‘Udaipur Files': Delhi HC to hear on Wednesday pleas challenging film's release, says ‘no urgency'
Noting that there is no immediate urgency to hear petitions challenging the release of the film Udaipur Files as it does not have a Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certification as yet, the Delhi High Court on Monday posted the pleas for hearing on Wednesday. The release of the film, based on the murder case of tailor Kanhaiya Lal by alleged Islamic fundamentalists in 2022, is under challenge in two petitions before the Delhi High Court – one by Maulana Arshad Madani, principal of the Darul Uloom Deoband, and another by Mohammed Javed, an accused undertrial in the murder case. Last week, the Supreme Court refused to interfere in the matter and sent it back to the high court for consideration. On July 10, the high court had temporarily stayed the film's release while granting those aggrieved by the purported portrayal in the film, vilifying Muslims, to represent the matter before the Central government and seek a review of the CBFC's decision to greenlight the film's release. Taken up before a bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, Madani's counsel told the court that senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who will be arguing the matter, was unavailable on Monday and sought an adjournment. Meanwhile, Javed, represented by senior advocate Menaka Guruswamy, told the court that with the producer's admission that the film is based on the chargesheet in the case and given that Javed is an undertrial, his right to fair trial will be prejudiced. Upon a query from the court on whether the film has been recertified by the CBFC subsequent to the Centre's review of it, the court was informed that while the movie was approved with six cuts and a disclaimer, which has been incorporated by the producers, CBFC certification remains to be issued. Taking note that a film cannot be exhibited till CBFC certification is issued, the court observed, 'as on date no urgency', and acceding to the request for adjournment, posted the matter to Wednesday. Madani, in his petition, pointed out that the movie is 'replete with dialogues and instances that had led to communal disharmony in the very recent past and thus carry every potential to again stoke the same communal sentiments'.
