Movie Prithviraj:
A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Neena Bansal Krishna said it was inclined to dismiss the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) with costs after which the petitioner’s counsel sought permission to withdraw the plea. Moreover, the court even gave the liberty to the petitioner to withdraw the plea without any conditions.
The petitioner Rashtriya Pravasi Parishad submitted that Samrat Prithviraj was a great emperor, and putting movie title only as Prithviraj hurts the sentiments of the public at large, and it should be more respectful. The plea suggested that the movie’s name should be modified as Great Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan. It claimed that using the great warrior’s name without respectful prefixes is contrary to the Cinematograph Act. The court, however, refused to entertain the plea.
