Supreme Court lifts ‘Padmaavat’ ban in four states

The Supreme Court has lifted the controversial ban on ‘Padmaavat’ in four states including Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

The court said that it was responsibility of the states to ensure that there is peace after the film’s release next week. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra has also restrained any other state to issue such notices before release of ‘Padmaavat’.

In an interim order, the bench said, “We direct that there shall be a stay of operation on the notification and orders issued, and we also restrain other states from issuing such notifications or orders in this matter.”

The film which stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, will now release all over India on 25th January 2018.
