The Supreme Court had sent the matter to the Delhi High Court.

 

Earlier, the Center had permitted the release of the film 'Udaipur Files' after suggesting 6 cuts. This decision of the Center was challenged by Arshad Madani of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and many others. After this, the Delhi High Court banned the release of the film. This matter reached the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court had directed the Delhi High Court to hear the petitions challenging the Center's permission to release the film on July 28. The Supreme Court had also said that it has not imposed any ban on the release of the film.
