NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to entertain a plea filed by the producer of the Tamil film 'Jana Nayagan', starring actor-politician Vijay, seeking directions to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to grant a censor certificate for the film’s release.
In its order, a Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih noted that the Division Bench of the Madras High Court is already seized of the matter and is scheduled to hear the appeal on January 20.
“We are not inclined to interfere. The Division Bench must make an endeavour to decide the appeal on January 20, ” the Justice Datta-led Bench said, refusing to grant any relief.
