The Madras High Court is to pronounce its verdict in the 'Jana Nayagan' movie case today.

A division bench will decide the CBFC's appeal against the single bench's order to grant certification for the movie.

The bench of Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G Arul Murugan will pronounce orders on Tuesday morning. The court had reserved orders on 20th January after hearing the CBFC and the movie's producer at length.
