Madras High Court Stays Order Granting U/A Certificate to Vijay’s Jana Nayagan

A Division Bench of the Madras High Court stayed the single judge’s order directing CBFC to grant a U/A certificate to Jana Nayagan.

The Court held that the Union of India was not given an adequate opportunity to respond and questioned the urgency shown by the producers.

It observed that fixing a release date without a certificate created artificial pressure on the system.

The stay will continue until further orders, keeping the certification process open for review.
