Overview
- A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan dismissed the writ, holding the title does not portray the Yadav community in a bad light.
- The Court said the film’s name contains no negative adjective or expression and called the petitioner’s apprehensions wholly unfounded.
- Distinguishing its earlier intervention over the film titled 'Ghooskhor Pandat,' the bench noted that case involved an explicitly derogatory term, unlike here.
- Treating the movie as fiction, the judges declined speculative pre-release censorship and indicated the petitioner could seek remedies after public exhibition if specific content causes hurt.
- 'Yadav Ji Ki Love Story' remains set for a nationwide theatrical release on February 27, as local protests and calls for CBFC re-examination continue, including demonstrations in Bharuch, Gujarat.
