NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to direct urgent listing of a plea seeking a stay on the release of the film 'Udaipur Files' -- based on the Kanhaiya Lal murder case.
The movie, slated to be released worldwide this Friday, revolves around the brutal murder of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, in June 2022, by Mohammad Riyaz Attari and Ghaus Mohammad by slitting his throat.
A bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Joymalya Bagchi told advocate Pyoli, appearing on behalf of Mohammed Javed, an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, to mention the writ petition seeking a stay on the release of the film before a regular bench after the apex court reopens on July 14.
