InDepth headlines national business sports cricket regional entertainment technology world travel autos health | SC notice to Bombay blast case accused on ‘Black Friday’ 18.08 IST 21st Apr 2005 By Agencies Dashing hopes of any early screening of controversial movie "Black Friday" based on the 1993 Mumbai serial blast cases, the Supreme Court today issued notices to the accused persons who had successfully stalled the release of the movie already cleared by the Censor Board. The makers of the movie - Mid-day Multimedia Pvt. Ltd. had filed an appeal in the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court order staying the release of the film till the judgment was given by the TADA court hearing the cases. A Bench comprising Chief Justice R C Lahoti issued notices to Mustaq Musa Tarani and other accused after hearing the counsel for petitioner, senior advocate Harish Salve. Salve contended that the film was based on a book "Black Friday - the true story of the Bombay bomb blasts" and that the book was available in the market, as it was not banned by authorities. "If the book was available in the public domain, then why could anybody not produce a film on that basis and how the film alone, and not the book, could create a bias in public mind against the accused," he wondered. However, the Court did not pass any interim orders and asked the respondents to file their replies within three weeks while posting the matter for further hearing after four weeks. The High Court had stayed the release of the film while allowing the petition filed by a group of 1993 bomb blast accused challenging the release of the film focussing on their cases. |
