Senior advocate Gaurav Bhati, appearing for filmmakers, submitted the Centre was exercising its revisionary jurisdiction and recommended six cuts in film scenes and they have been complied with.
Justice Kant told Bhatia that film producers would have to comply with the directions of cutting the scenes, unless they wished to challenge the order.
Live Events
Senior advocate Maneka Guruswamy, appearing for accused Mohd Javed, seeking the stay on the movie's release, said the interim stay should continue till the apex court decided the issue.
The bench went ahead to continue the stay till further orders and posted the hearing on July 24.
On July 16, the top court asked the filmmakers to await the decision of the Centre-appointed panel to hear objections against the movie.
The top court told the filmmakers while the accused in the Kanhaiya Lal tailor murder case couldn't be compensated for the loss of reputation if the film releases, the filmmakers could be compensated in monetary terms.
The high court on July 10 stayed the film's release on a plea of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani, invoking powers of the Central Government under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, till the representation is decided by the Central Government, for which the high court granted one week time.
The top court had asked the Centre's panel to take a decision immediately without loss of time after hearing all the parties and ordered to give a hearing to the accused in the murder case.
The top court also directed the superintendent of police of the jurisdiction concerned to assess the threat perception and take necessary action in providing life and property of family members of filmmakers and the son of a tailor, who were reportedly receiving threats.
The filmmakers claimed of having received a Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate with the board suggesting 55 cuts and the film was due to be released on July 11.
The top court said despite the film receiving the CBFC certificate, the Centre had the power to suggest further cuts in scenes or even stop the film from screening and one should await the decision of the competent authority.
Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal was murdered in June 2022 allegedly by Mohammad Riyaz and Mohammad Ghous.
The assailants later released a video claiming that the murder was in reaction to the tailor allegedly sharing a social media post in support of former BJP member Nupur Sharma following her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed.
The case was probed by the NIA and the accused were booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, besides provisions under IPC.
The trial is pending before the special NIA court in Jaipur.

Paige DeSorbo opens up about crafting her path beyond reality TV

Paige DeSorbo recently spoke candidly about her journey from reality television to becoming a recognized name in the influencer space. The Summer House alum, now 32, joined Jeannie Mai, Cyrus Veyssi, and Kamie Crawford on the 'Business of Being You: Personal Branding in the Creator Economy' panel, moderated by Lex Niko, where she revisited her early days navigating fame. DeSorbo recalled that her entry into the creator world came with a unique advantage: she knew exactly when her reality TV debut would air. 'I think I was in a little bit of a different position than other influencers and creators because I started on a reality show, so I knew the date of when it was going to air,' she explained to the audience. She shared that, at the time, she was deliberate about shaping her public image. Visitors to her Instagram would ask, 'What is her thing?' and, as she admitted, there wasn't one. 'I just made it up that I was a fashion influencer and I had like 2,000 followers,' she said, giving credit to creators who go viral overnight or build their presence gradually through years of work. DeSorbo first rose to prominence on Bravo's Summer House, joining the ensemble in season 3. Last month, she announced she would not return for the show's upcoming 10th season, calling the decision a 'little life update' on her Instagram Stories. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 15 Most Beautiful Women in the World Undo Reflecting on her time with the show, she wrote that being part of Summer House had been 'one of the most rewarding chapters' of her life, citing the friendships, drama, and laughter as 'all unforgettable. ' She expressed gratitude for the experiences the series brought her, noting that viewers had 'seen me grow up over these last 7 summers.' While acknowledging the impact of the show, she admitted that 'like all good things (and some bad decisions), it's time for this chapter to close.' She thanked her castmates, fans, and the NBCUniversal family for accompanying her on the journey, promising that it was not the end: 'You haven't seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.' In an interview with People, DeSorbo reflected further on her decision to step back. She described her years on reality TV as 'so fun,' adding that she had been at 'the perfect age to do Summer House and what the vibe was.' While she would not rule out a future return, she emphasized her desire to pause after seven seasons, saying, 'I would never say never, but I think coming off of it after seven years, I would love a break.'
