'Jana Nayagan' Movie Case : Live Updates From Madras High Court Hearing | CBFC Appeal against Vijay's Film

Bench is perusing the documents and the complaint that was produced by the CBFC in sealed cover

Court clarifies with ASG

ASG informs that the original records were taken from the regional office in Chennai and the complainant received by Board was brought from Bombay through an officer 

CJ says the board could have produced only what was there in the regional office in one day's time

Parasaran: They produced records from Bombay itself

CJ: Where is this direction by the board?

Parasaran: They have to produce that

Parasaran says that the communication of 22/12 by the chairperson was a decision on behalf of the Board.

Parasaran says the Chairperson had received unanimous recommendation from the members. Says after receiving the recommendation, he had authority to either send to review or go ahead with certification

CJ: Were they given even an hour's time to counter this?

Parasaran: They had come prepared with sealed envelope 

Parasaran says the members of the examining committee could never become the complainant as per the statute

Parasaran: Even the ASG will not dispute that the case had to be heard that day

CJ: It had to be heard because you created an urgency. ASG was pushed to argue

CJ: What will happen if this is allowed is that every person will come and say that there is a good case. We are just concerned because they were not even given a day's time

Parasaran: There was no dispute with regard the fact
