Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court regarding the certification of the film 'Bandit Queen' under the Cinematograph Act, 1952, specifically referencing Section 5B which governs the principles of certification. The Court emphasized the importance of artistic expression and the need to balance it with societal norms, ultimately ruling that the film's content, while controversial, did not warrant a ban. The appeals against the High Court's order were dismissed, allowing the film to be exhibited with the granted 'A' certificate.
