Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma held that the petition was not maintainable before the Delhi High Court due to lack of territorial jurisdiction. The court shared that Maharashtra courts would be the more appropriate and convenient forum for the company to raise its grievances concerning the notices, in accordance with the doctrine of forum conveniens.
Adding to this, The notices also sought an end to the promotional campaign and the removal of related advertising material from digital platforms.
Meanwhile, The company argued before the court that the August 11 notice was addressed only to the actors and not to PB Agro itself. Its counsel submitted that the company would be directly affected by any action taken by the Maharashtra regulator.

Notably, The company had therefore sought relief from the Delhi High Court against the regulatory action.
