High
Court
asked
Uttar

and

to
file
a
counter
affidavit
within
10
days
in
a
PIL
seeking

film
titled
String.
The

claims
in
this

the
pious

had
been
misused
and
it
hurt
the
sentiment
of
crores
of
Hindus.
A
division
bench
comprising
Justices
S

and

yesterday,

as

the
exhibition
of
the
film
was
concerned.
The PIL has been filed by Swami Angad Giri of Allahabad. He said the film was being released today. The court also issued notices to film producer Mathew Varghes, director Sanjay Jha and Jubin Garg in this case to file their reply.
