Court directs CBFC to grant censor certificate to Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi

The Central Board of Film Certification(CBFC) has been given the directive by the Bombay High Court to certify the upcoming film Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi, and give clearance for its theatrical release without any cuts or modifications. The order came on Monday, after the court heard the matter over repeated non-compliance by the CBFC. The bench had decided to watch the film over the weekend and on Monday noted that there was no issue because of which the film should be denied a certificate by the CBFC.
However, Senior Advocate Ram Apte, appearing for the CBFC, argued that the film contains obscenity and could be defamatory towards CM Adityanath. When the bench asked him if he had seen the film, he replied in negative. The court further suggested that the CBFC may require an additional disclaimer stating that the film is a creative work and is based on fictional characters. (IANS)
