Star Studios plea challenging a Bombay High
Court order for a review of Akshay Kumar-
starrer Jolly LLB 2 by a three-member
committee before its release. A bench of
Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar and
Justice N.V. Ramana agreed to hear the plea
by the film's producer that there could not
be any scrutiny of a movie after the Central
Board of Film Certification has given it a U/A
certificate.
The court agreed to hear the plea after
senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi,
appearing for Fox Star Studios, said the film
has been cleared by the CBFC and the three-
member committee appointed by the High
Court was not in accordance with law.
The movie is set for release on February
10.The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay
High Court set up the committee to see the
film after a Nanded lawyer Ajaykumar
Waghmare told the court that the film was
an attempt to portray the country's legal
profession and the judicial system in a poor
light. It is "an attempt to portray the Indian
legal profession and judicial system as a
laughing stock to society at large",
Waghmare told the High Court.The High
Court directed for the review of the film by
the panel on February 1 and set the next
hearing on February 3.
