The Delhi High Court on Thursday (October 30, 2025) declined to entertain a public interest litigation (PIL) petition seeking a stay on the release of the Bollywood film The Taj Story, observing that the court could not act as a “super Censor Board”.
The film, starring Paresh Rawal, is scheduled for release on Friday.
A Bench of the Chief Justice of Delhi HC Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela noted that the Cinematograph Act, 1952 contains no provision for review of certification decisions by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
“Are we a super Censor Board? Just because you say, will we pass an order?” the Bench remarked, adding that differing perspectives on historical events were common.
