On Friday, a
Supreme Court
bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the filmmakers appeal against the high court order staying the release was infructuous as they accepted the July 21 order of the Centre clearing the release of the film subject to six cuts in its scenes and modifications in the disclaimer.
The bench further had said it has not expressed any opinion on merit and the high court can adjudicate the issue of stay of release of film.

It also directed Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, who is an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, to move the high court against the Centre's decision.
The
Delhi High Court
had stayed the film's release on a Madani's plea on July 10, 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 filmmakers claimed to have 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.
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.

Bangkok cartel using airport-hopping tactics to smuggle marijuana: DRI official
Bhubaneswar: With Odisha being targeted as a potential destination for hydroponic marijuana, a Bangkok-based drug cartel is using airport-hopping tactics to smuggle the contraband into the state, a senior official of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) told TOI on condition of anonymity. After two failed attempts at Bhubaneswar's Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA), carriers are now suspected to be rerouting consignments through airports like Jharsuguda, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru to avoid detection. "Once they escape scrutiny at any of these airports, they use other modes of transport to deliver the consignment. Last month, a marijuana consignment was seized at Kolkata airport," the official said. In two recent busts, hydroponic marijuana worth a total of Rs 40 crore was seized. The carriers in both cases were unrelated and came from different states—three from Uttar Pradesh in the first case, and one from Gujarat in the second. "The carriers are only handed an air ticket at Bangkok airport and are instructed to carry the consignment. While they are aware of the contents, they never admit it when caught," the official said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why is everyone rushing to get their hands on this new air cooler? News of the Discovery Undo Explaining the smuggling strategy, he added, "If a carrier is given a ticket to Bengaluru, they have no choice but to board that flight. After landing, their task is to evade airport scanners and security checks. This is how the airport-hopping tactic works. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't." On Sunday, DRI sleuths further revealed that hydroponic marijuana from Thailand—often dubbed the 'poor man's cocaine'—is becoming increasingly popular at rave parties in Bhubaneswar due to its affordability and powerful hallucinogenic effects. Unlike regular marijuana, this soil-free variant contains about 30% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), compared to just 3% in the common strain, making it far more potent. Based on interrogation of the arrested carriers, investigators are now trying to trace the main operatives involved in the cartel, both in Bangkok and Bhubaneswar, including the hotels they frequent and the local distribution network.

Gujarat HC grants relief to news anchor accused in defamation, atrocities case after complaint by senior Congress leader
The Gujarat High Court on Monday granted relief to an Ahmedabad-based news anchor in a case of defamation and atrocity, filed by Congress leader Dr Tushar Chaudhary, based on the assurance of the Additional Public Prosecutor that the journalist will be served a notice of 15 days in case the investigating officer deems it appropriate to arrest her. Justice Nirzar Desai was hearing the petition by Gopi Maniar-Ghanghar, anchor of Ahmedabad-based Nirbhay News Channel, for quashing and setting aside the FIR lodged at Tapi District, based on Chaudhary's complaint under Section 356 (Defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and various sections of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Chaudhary is the newly appointed Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in Gujarat Assembly. The court order stated, 'Public Prosecutor Hardik Dave has made a statement before this Court upon instructions received by the Nikita Shiroya (SC/ST Cell Tapi Vyara) that… the investigation is at very initial stage and therefore, it would serve the end of justice if this Court records the statement of learned Public Prosecutor that in case, during the course of investigation, if the investigating officer deems it appropriate to arrest the present applicant, she will be given a clear notice of fifteen days and upon receipt of the notice…' The court further said, 'The applicant would be at liberty to avail appropriate remedy so as to take remedial measure to seek relief against her proposed arrest. Such a period would start from the date of receipt of the notice by the present applicant.' Chaudhary's complaint is also against Jagdish Mehta, group editor of Rajkot-based Headlines News channel. Chaudhary has alleged that the journalists had defamed him and his deceased father, former Gujarat Chief Minister Amarsinh Chaudhary. In the FIR, the Congress MLA from Khedbrahma has alleged that in a show aired on July 22 on Nirbhay News, Ghanghar made an objectionable statement against him. He said Mehta consented to the statements, which were 'defamatory for him and the entire tribal community'. Ghanghar's advocate Utkarsh Dave said, '…Ghanghar… was the interviewer, who does not have control over what the other person is going to say… We will proceed with legal remedy in case the notice for arrest is issued.'

When Randhir Kapoor publicly slammed Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, calling Sunjay Kapur a...
Karisma Kapoor's marriage to Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapur began in 2003 but soon spiralled into one of Bollywood's most talked-about scandals. What followed was not just a separation, but a bitter divorce packed with explosive allegations. Karisma accused Sunjay of infidelity. Sunjay, in turn, claimed the Zubeidaa star had married him for money. Their mudslinging was so intense it made daily headlines. Randhir Kapoor lashes out Never one to hold back, Karisma's father, Randhir Kapoor, publicly tore into his former son-in-law. In a fiery interview with Hindustan Times, he said, 'Sunjay is a third-class man. I never wanted Karisma to marry him. He has debauchery in his system and never cared for his wife. He has been giving bull*** to her, and living with another woman. The entire Delhi knows how he is.' His remarks came right after Sunjay accused Karisma of being a 'failed' wife, daughter-in-law, and mother, and even alleged she had an extramarital affair. The marriage and the split After tying the knot in 2003, Karisma moved to Delhi and had two children, Samaira and Kiaan. But by 2011, she had returned to Mumbai with them. The couple initially agreed on a mutual divorce, but Karisma withdrew when Sunjay allegedly failed to meet financial commitments under their settlement. Her lawyer, Kranti Sathe, dismissed Sunjay's accusations as 'false' and demanded he prove them in court. A twist after death Sunjay Kapur, former chairman of Sona Comstar, died in London on June 12, 2025. Barely two months later, his name resurfaced in headlines, this time over a staggering Rs 30,000 crore inheritance dispute. Reports suggest Karisma may be considering a legal claim to a share of his vast estate. Adding intrigue, Sunjay's stepdaughter — Priya Sachdev's daughter, Safira — recently changed her surname from 'Chatwal' to 'Kapur'. Insiders speculate this could be more than a personal choice, possibly a strategic play in the high-stakes property battle.
