Annu Kapoor starrer Humare Baarah has landed in trouble again as the Supreme Court has stayed the release date of the film. The apex court stayed the release until the Bombay High Court decides the case. The court also asked the Supreme Court to dispose of the complaint expeditiously. The vacation bench, comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, took note of the submissions of lawyer Fauzia Shakil, who represented petitioner Azhar Basha Tamboli, and asked the Bombay High Court to take an expeditious decision on the plea. “We saw the trailer of the film in the morning and all the offensive dialogues continue in it,” the bench observed, stopping the film’s release.
Indian TV’s Atul Bhatia reported that the petitioner stated that the CBFC itself was a party to the petition filed in the Bombay High Court and how its own board could screen the film.
Atul Bhatia’s report also states that the petitioner has informed that the CBFC has formed a committee to screen the film. After the screening, the CBFC committee suggested removing the trailer of this film and some parts related to it, which were removed. The Supreme Court then allowed the film to be released.
The petition filed by the petitioner in the Supreme Court challenging the order of the Bombay High Court stated that the film was against the Islamic faith and was insulting to married Muslim women in India.
For the unversed, which is already banned in Karnataka, was scheduled to release on June 14.
