'The Kerala Story' Movie Case : Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing

Ahmadi: Another scene shows Muslim clerics talking about how they can lure Hindu women and take them to Syria, if necessary, they can impregnate them...

Ahmadi: The movie starts with "fight the non believers" said by a Muslim man.

Ahmadi: They say that it is a work of fiction.

Salve: I've not said that.

Ahmadi: A disclaimer would be like a statutory warning for everyone. The movie says "inspired by true events corroborated by testimonials"

Salve: We have videos, interviews or girls on basis of which movie is made.

Sibal: They are saying that the supporters are PFI members...elected persons are saying...This happens just because of elections, we know what is happening.

CJI: The disclaimer shall say-

1. There is no authentic data to back up the suggestion that the figure of converted people is 32000 or any other figure;

2. The film represents a fictionalised version of subject matter.

CJI DY Chandrachud: Mr Salve, on behalf of film producer, submits that to set the controversy aside, the existing disclaimer shall add another disclaimer as decided by 5 pm on 20 May 2023.

CJI DY Chandrachud: You will also put a disclaimer which says it is fictionalised?

Salve: Yes, that's already there.

Salve: I have not taken instructions. I think this is the right thing.

Salve: The disclaimer should say that there is no authentic data to back up the suggestion that the figure of conversions is 32000 or any other established figure.
