Bombay HC to pass order on Udta Punjab row on June 13

The Bombay High Court has said that it will pass the order on the Udta Punjabcensorship row on June 13.

The court had been hearing the objections raised by the producers of the film against cuts suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification. It also heard the body’s justifications for the same.

The High Court had sought an explanation from the Censor Board over its insistence on deleting the Punjab signboard in the film that deals with drugs.

The CBFC submitted that all 13 changes, including deletion of Punjab in the film title, suggested by its revising committee were justified and proper.

Phantom Films and producer Vikas Bahl moved the HC against the 13 suggestions.
