Updated:6 years, 7 months ago

New Delhi, Apr 02 (ANI): In a major relief to the makers of 'PM Narendra Modi' biopic, the Bombay High Court disposed off the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed to stay the film's release. The court noted that the Election Commission (EC) has already issued a notice to the makers of the film 'PM Narendra Modi' over allegations of breach of the Model Code of Conduct in view of the Lok Sabha elections.The Court disposed off a PIL filed by Satish Gaikwad, a resident of Pune, who said the film if it is permitted to be released for public viewing, would violate the Model Code of Conduct imposed by the EC. The plea also questioned the timing of the film's release and claimed that if released, it was likely to earn Prime Minister Modi electoral mileage. The petitioner also demanded that the trailer of the film should either be removed or deleted from all social media sites.The EC, however, told the court that it had already sought replies from the makers.The biopic came under the scanner of the ECI after Congress and Left parties complained to the electoral body saying that it violates the Model Code of Conduct. The film depicts the journey of Modi from his humble beginnings to his years as a chief minister and finally his landmark election as the Prime Minister.
