HC Asks Sushant Singh Rajput's Fan What The Film Nyaay: The Justice Is About?
Bombay High Court on Wednesday (February 17) questioned a social worker who has challenged an upcoming film being made on the life of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Bombay
High
Court
on
Wednesday
(February
17)
questioned
a
social
worker
who
has
challenged
an
upcoming
film
being
made
on
the
life
of
late
Bollywood
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
The
court
asked
if
the
social
worker
knows
the
content
of
the
film
that
is
still
in
pre-production.
Manish
Mishra
had
filed
an
appeal
claiming
that
film
maligns
the
reputation
of
Rajput
and
is
based
on
distorted
facts.
This
is
not
the
first
time
Manish
filed
a
plea
against
the
film,
Nyaay:
The
Justice
which
is
being
produced
by
Sarla
Saraogi.
Earlier
on
December
22,
2020,
the
Dindoshi
Civil
Court
had
dismissed
his
interim
plea
for
an
injunction
against
the
makers.
The
Dindoshi
Civil
Court
had
said,
"Investigation
in
respect
to
the
said
matter
is
yet
to
decide
about
the
correctness
of
either
suicide
or
murder."
Meanwhile,
Mishra
reached
out
to
the
High
Court
after
the
civil
court's
dismissal.
His
petition
informed
the
High
Court
that
the
production
has
begun
and
urged
the
court
to
restrain
Saraogi
from
releasing,
exhibiting,
displaying
and
advertising
the
film.
Justice
Prithviraj
Chavan
questioned
Mishra's
locus
standi
to
file
a
suit
and
his
personal
interest.
"How
do
you
know
what
they
are
going
to
do?''
Mishra's
advocate
Chetan
C
Agarwal
said
his
client
is
"businessman,
social
worker
and
a
fan
and
follower" of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
Agarwal
said,
"How
can
they
say
it
is
not
touching
the
investigation
or
distorting
facts?
The
title
itself
shows."
On
the
other
hand,
the
producer's
advocate
Ashok
Saraogi
argued
that
"It
(title)
can
be
for
anything.
The
producer
has
not
touched
upon
the
police
investigations
into
the
actor's
death."
He
also
noted
that
the
civil
court
had
asked,
"Unless
the
film
is
released,
how
can
it
be
said
that
it
shows
distorted
facts?"
Justice
Chavan
posted
the
hearing
in
the
first
week
of
March
citing
that
there
is
no
urgency
and
added,
"If
someone
is
doing
something
correctly,
there
is
no
need
to
be
afraid."
