Mumbai, September 19: The Bombay High Court on Thursday said that creative freedom and freedom of expression cannot be curtailed and the Censor Board cannot refuse to certify a film merely because there is an apprehension of disturbance of law and order. . A division bench of Justices BP Kolabawala and Firdosh Pooniwala expressed its displeasure at the Central Board of Film Certification for not taking a decision on issuing a certificate to Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency' and issued a 25 Ordered to take a decision by September. The court asked whether the CBFC thinks the people of this country are so gullible as to believe everything shown in the film.
"You (CBFC) have to take a decision one way or the other," the bench said. You should have the courage to say that this film cannot be released, at least then we will appreciate your courage and boldness.
