Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the petitioner's grievance regarding the non-acceptance of the film 'PAZHASSI RAJA' for screening at the International Film Festival of India - 2009, citing a violation of Regulation 8.2 of the Indian Panorama Regulation, 2009. The Court noted that the petitioner had previously approached the Delhi High Court multiple times without success and emphasized the need for interim relief due to the impending end of the festival. The Court ultimately decided to allow the petitioner to pursue the matter further in the Delhi High Court, recognizing the procedural irregularities in the selection process.
