Supreme Court Declines to Hear Vijay's Petition on Film Certification
In a significant legal development, the Supreme Court of India has refused to entertain a plea filed by actor Vijay. The petition challenged a stay order issued by a division bench of the Madras High Court regarding the certification of his upcoming movie "Jana Nayagan."
Court Directs Production House to Approach Madras HC
The top court, comprising Justices Deepankar Datta and AG Masih, made this decision on Thursday. They advised KVN production, the film's production house, to present its grievances before the division bench of the Madras High Court that is currently examining the issue.
The Supreme Court emphasized that the Madras High Court should resolve the matter promptly. It set a clear deadline, asking the High Court to deliver its decision by January 20. This directive aims to ensure a timely resolution to the ongoing dispute over the film's certification.
Background of the Legal Battle
The Madras High Court had previously imposed a stay on the certification process for "Jana Nayagan." This action prompted Vijay and his production team to seek relief from the Supreme Court. However, the apex court has now declined to intervene directly in the case.
This refusal represents a setback for the popular actor, as it delays the certification and potential release of his movie. The legal proceedings have drawn considerable attention from fans and industry observers alike.
The Supreme Court's ruling underscores the importance of following proper judicial channels. By directing the production house to the Madras High Court, it reinforces the hierarchy and jurisdiction of the courts in India.
All parties involved now await the Madras High Court's decision, which is expected by the specified deadline of January 20. The outcome will significantly impact the future of "Jana Nayagan" and its release plans.
