Delhi High Court today stayed the television premiere of Bollywood movie ‘Grand Masti’ saying the film was not certified for unrestricted public exhibition and cannot be televised under the Cable Network Regulation Act.
A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath was of the prima facie view that under the Act, any movie with ‘U/A’ or ‘A’ certification, which were not suitable for unrestricted exhibition, cannot be shown on television.
In an interim order, the court rejected the government’s argument that since a warning that it was not suitable for children and minors is shown before such a movie starts, parents could change the channel.
