Delhi HC quashes PIL seeking stay on Suryaa A bench of Acting Chief Justice Nitin Wasudeo Sambre and Justice Sanjay Sharma shared the court was not inclined to entertain the public interest litigation (PIL) as the issue has already been raised by the doctor fraternity in another writ petition which is pending before a single judge.
Meanwhile, On November 2, the single judge issued notice to the authorities and asked them to respond to the petition alleging that the movie portrays doctors in private hospitals as corrupt and that it encourages violence against healthcare professionals.
Notably, The court shared the petitioners may join the proceedings before the single judge and also granted them liberty to pursue their representation before the authorities.
As per the latest buzz, The PIL was filed by Dr Nachiketa Bhatia and Dr Dhruv Chauhan seeking to stay the rollout of the movie on the ground that its official trailer depicts physical violence against medical practitioners as heroic and unfairly generalises corruption in the healthcare profession.
In further updates, The petitioners shared the movie threatens public law and order and sought a direction to the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Movie Certification ( CBFC ) to examine and modify or delete allegedly objectionable scenes or dialogues from the movie.
On top of that, On being asked by the bench as to why it should entertain the plea when a similar petition is already pending before another bench of the high court, the petitioners' counsel shared the issue is sensitive and the scope in a PIL is more as compared to a writ petition.
The counsel for CBFC shared till now, no certification has been issued to the movie and the same is pending consideration. He also shared that the Hindi movie is not the original one and it is a remake of a South Indian movie which is already in the public domain.
