- Petitioner, argued that Grave damage would be done to social harmony if the movie is allowed to be released outside India
- Petitioner further sought a direction to the CBI to register a case against film director Sanjay LeelaBhansali and others for various ‘offences’, including defamation and violation of the Cinematography Act
Court’s position
