'Prayed for film's release': 'Udaipur Files - Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder' makers moves SC against Rajasthan HC stay; hearing in 2–3 days
Supreme Court
on Monday agreed to hear a plea challenging the Rajasthan high court's stay on the release of the film Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder, despite the movie receiving clearance from the
Central Board of Film Certification
(CBFC).
The petition was filed by the film's producer, who approached the apex court seeking an urgent hearing. Senior advocate
Gaurav Bhatia
mentioned the matter before the bench on behalf of the filmmaker.
Speaking on the development, Advocate Pulkit Agarwal said, 'We have pleaded that the high court's order, which has stayed the release of the movie, needs to be set aside. We have prayed to the Supreme Court to grant the release of this movie.'
Agarwal further added that the court had orally observed that the matter would be listed for hearing within two to three days.
The Rajasthan high court had earlier put a stay on the release of the film, which is based on the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, a case that had drawn nationwide outrage.
The petitioner contends that with CBFC certification already granted, there are no legal grounds to prevent the release.

A special investigation team (SIT) consisting of three IPS officers will probe irregularities, examining financial trails and asset acquisitions to ascertain any collusion. The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered a preliminary inquiry into an alleged collusion between Noida officials and landowners on land acquisition payouts. The development took place during the resumed hearing of a case linked to alleged inflated compensation to ineligible landowners. ADVERTISEMENT A bench comprising justice Surya Kant and justice Joymalya Bagchi ordered the constitution of a special investigation team comprising three IPS officers to probe irregularities in the land acquisition payouts.
