Padmaavat row: Allahabad HC issues contempt notice to Prasoon Joshi

New Delhi [India], Jan 16 (ANI): The Allahabad High Court issued a contempt notice to Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chairman Prasoon Joshi on Tuesday.

The notice was issued after Joshi had failed to respond to a representation given by a petitioner seeking a ban on the release of 'Padmavati' (now 'Padmaavat').

In November last year, the petitioner filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the high court seeking the ban on the film because it "promoted" Sati.

The court dismissed the petition on November 9. However, the petitioner was given liberty to file a complaint under Rule 32 of 1983 with direction to decide the same expeditiously, if possible within a period of three weeks.

The petitioner filed a representation before the CBFC on November 13, but Joshi failed to respond to the same.

At this, the high court issued contempt notice to Joshi. (ANI)

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
