PADMAAVAT GETS A SUPREME TREAT AS SC CLEARS OUT THE BAN IN INDIA FOR IT'S RELEASE

As we reported earlier that six states including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Uttrakhand banned  Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat. After that the producers of the film had moved to the apex court, opposing the ban imposed on its screening by different state governments.

Now according to the latest reports, a bench of the SC  headed by chief justice Dipak Misra suspends the ban imposed by 4 states and also said that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was the only statutory body that could take a ban decision.

If states are banning a film, then it is destroying federal structure.
It is a serious matter. If somebody has a problem,then he or she can approach appellate tribunal for relief. State can't touch the content of a film: Harish Salve representing producers of #Padmaavat in SC
