CBFC Must Decide on Clearance for Film on Yogi Adityanath by August 6: Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to decide by August 6 on granting clearance for the film Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi.

The Court criticised the board for inaction, especially after prior directions to consider the matter. 

The petitioners argued that, is there any provision that says that a film or teaser cannot be made on a constitutional authority?

The Court reaffirmed the importance of timely administrative decisions, especially when creative expression is at stake.
