Supreme Court closes 2023 pleas against 'The Kerala Story'
- In 2023, petitions challenged The Kerala Story’s CBFC certificate and sought its cancellation.
- The cases stayed pending because broader questions remained, including who can challenge a film certificate and how alleged hate speech in films should be handled.
- On 21 August, the Supreme Court closed the old petitions because the film had already been released and the original relief was no longer practical.
- The Court did not cancel the certificate, but allowed petitioners to file a fresh case seeking general guidelines on alleged hate speech in films.
