SC seeks K’taka govt’s reply on plea challenging ban on Thug Life
Supreme Court sought the Karnataka government's response on a plea challenging the ban on the release of Kamal Haasan's Tamil film 'Thug Life' in the state. The plea alleged that despite being certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the ban on the film by the state government amounts to an unconstitutional restriction on free speech and expression.
