The suspension on the release of the film ‘Udaipur Files’ still intact, the center will take a fresh decision

The Delhi High Court on Friday ordered the Central Government to re -evaluate the film “Udaipur Files” related to the killing of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in 2022. The court raised the question whether the Center could order editing and cut under its revision jurisdiction. The court directed that the revaluation be completed by August 6 and requested to follow the existing legal criteria. The court order came after the government said that it would withdraw the previous directive in which the film was allowed to be released with a specific cut. The court emphasized the importance of following the Center’s revision jurisdiction under the Cinematograph Act, which controls the certification and release of films in India.
