Change as per the times now. The CBFC need not be over-sensitive in the matter of art.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Making a strong pitch against curbing creativity, the court said,&#8221;The CBFC cannot stop creative people abruptly as it may discourage them. This will kill creativity. These days filmmakers are brutal, direct and straightforward. One need not treat them harshly just because of this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also raised questions about Central Board of Film Certification&#8217;s powers to censor movies as the word censor did not figure in the Cinematograph Act and said if cuts had to be made, those should be in consonance with the Constitution and directions of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Censor in common parlance means to certify a movie.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if by law the board is empowered to make changes, cuts, or deletions, this power of the CBFC must be consistently in consonance with the provisions of the Constitution and the Supreme Court directions,&#8221; Justice Dharmadhikari said.<\/p>\n<p>The court was hearing a petition filed by filmmaker Anurag Kashyap&#8217;s Phantom Films challenging the CBFC order.<\/p>\n<p>The CBFC&#8217;s direction for multiple cuts in the film had triggered a political storm with Congress and AAP accusing the Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP government in Punjab, which is going to polls next year, of using their influence to get it censored. The charge was denied by Punjab&#8217;s ruling alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The makers of &#8220;Udta Punjab&#8221;, who had moved the Bombay High Court against CBFC&#8217;s demand for cuts, hailed the verdict, calling it a &#8220;landmark judgement&#8221; and victory for the entire film industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The hard work of the lawyers has paid off. I am terribly pleased with the verdict. I hope films will be viewed in context and there won&#8217;t be a blanket on cinema,&#8221; Abhishek Chaubey told reporters here, outside the high court.<\/p>\n<p>The CBFC had initially ordered as many as 89 cuts which was subsequently brought down to 13 by its revising committee.<\/p>\n<p>The court turned down the plea of CBFC counsel Advait Sethna to stay its order to enable them move the Supreme Court against it.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Admonishing the censor board for acting like a &#8220;grandmother&#8221;, the Bombay High Court today ordered it to certify movie &#8216;Udta Punjab&#8217; within 48 hours with just one cut instead of 13 suggested by the CBFC so its producers can release it on schedule on June 17. &#8220;Barring the deletion of the urination scene as directed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38299,"featured_media":43339,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[47741,36826,146,31987,117,80,36797],"class_list":["post-43391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-bombay-high-court","tag-cbfc","tag-court","tag-featured","tag-law","tag-legal-news","tag-udta-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Don&#039;t act like &quot;grandmother&quot;, HC tells CBFC; clears way for Udta Punjab release - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Admonishing the censor board for acting like a &quot;grandmother&quot;, the Bombay High Court today ordered it to certify movie &#039;Udta Punjab&#039; within 48 hours with - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
