Multi-starrer movie Kaal got embroiled in a controversy today with the Supreme Court issuing notices to its producer and the Centre on the allegation that it was shot in locations deep within Jim Corbett National Park in violation of the Wildlife Act.Questions about the movie, released in theatres today, were mentioned in an application before a Bench comprising Justice Y K Sabharwal, Justice S B Sinha and Justice S H Kapadia, which also issued notices to Uttaranchal government. The application, mentioned by amicus curiae and senior advocate Harish Salve during the hearing of matters relating to forests, alleged that the shooting of the film took place in "gross violation" of the Wildlife Act and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. It requested the court to impose exemplary damages on the film as it was shot without necessary permissions either from the Central government or the authorities concerned. Mentioning that even Lok Sabha MP Maneka Gandhi had drawn the attention of the Centre to this aspect of the film, Salve sought a direction to the Union government to initiate appropriate action after investigating the matter and submit a report in this regard to the court. The film, whose star cast included Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham, Esha Deol and Lara Dutta, was also put under the scanner for showing cruelty to animals like lions, tigers and eagles, which were used as performing animals. |
