SC rejects plea to ban Punjabi film 'Nanak Shah Fakir'
The Supreme Court has refused to stay the release of the Punjabi film 'Nanak Shah Fakir' citing freedom of expression guaranteed by the constitution. This comes after Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee banned the film's release in Punjab. The film, which is based on the life of Guru Nanak Dev, was released all across India on April 13, except in Punjab.
