CBFC tells Delhi High Court Sharjeel Imam plea to postpone release of '2020 Delhi' is premature

The CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) informed the Delhi High Court that Sharjeel Imam’s plea to delay the release of a film based on the 2020 Delhi riots was premature. The Court was considering the petition which sought to halt the release of the film, but CBFC argued that the matter was not urgent and did not warrant a postponement. The outcome of this plea will have implications on the intersection of free speech, media freedom, and sensitive historical events.
