Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed a writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution concerning the film 'Fire', which faced protests and vandalism after its release. The Court noted that the State of Maharashtra had taken necessary actions, including registering FIRs under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Bombay Police Act, 1951, against the perpetrators of violence. The Court held that adequate police measures were in place and did not find it necessary to transfer the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation, thereby upholding the State's actions.
