Delhi HC to Decide Fate of “Udaipur Files” – July 30 Hearing Set
The Delhi High Court is slated to hear petitions challenging the release of the controversial film “Udaipur Files” on July 30, 2025. The case involves a plea by the film’s producers seeking recertification.
The Supreme Court, in a previous order, directed the petitioners to approach the Delhi High Court for adjudication of the matter.
The film, which depicts the gruesome 2022 murder of Kanhaiya Lal, is currently embroiled in legal battles. The accused in the murder case are currently facing trial.
This crucial hearing holds significant implications for freedom of expression versus the potential for inciting violence and communal disharmony. The court’s decision will set a precedent for future films tackling sensitive socio-political issues.
