A hearing on Emergency will be held on September 19
The film is a biographical political thriller based on the life of Indira Gandhi, who imposed a 21-month emergency from 1975 to 1977. 'Emergency' has been surrounded by controversies for some time, including criticism from several Sikh groups. At the same time, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday said that it is unable to direct the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue a certificate, as it would contradict the order of the MP High Court. The court has also asked the CBFC to take a decision by September 18. The next hearing of the case is to be held on September 19.
Bombay High Court's door was knocked for the certificate of 'emergency'
Zee Entertainment Enterprises, the co-producer of 'Emergency', approached the Bombay High Court seeking the release of the film and a censor certificate. A petition was filed in the Bombay High Court, claiming that the censor board had arbitrarily and illegally withheld the censor certificate of the film. The MP High Court had directed the CBFC to consider the representations made by Sikh groups who had filed a petition before it. After the Bombay High Court refused to grant certification to the film 'Emergency', Kangana Ranaut said that she has become everyone's favorite target and this is the price she has to pay for 'waking up a sleeping nation'.
