Raj Kapoor And Ors vs State And Others on 26 October, 1979

In Raj Kapoor and others v. State and others, Justice Krishna Iyer has observed that a certificate by a high-powered Board of Censors with specialised composition and statutory mandate is not a piece of inconsequence. Doordarshan takes decision on the basis of same guidelines. The petitioner's film must be judged in its entirety. The film has a theme and it has a message to convey. The question is whether the bridge sequence goes well with the theme and promotes a message. In my opinion, the question has to be answered in the affirmative. The entire film relies not so much to the didactic technique of using a heavy handed commentary but on juxtaposing events, speeches and interviews which speak for themselves. The bridge sequence is meant to create in the audience a response of disgust directed against the perpetrators of communal hatred. Indeed when audience realize that some of the same people who are fanatical also believe that it was good that Gandhiji was killed, it is true though sickening moment of revelation. Mr. Sebastian submitted and in my opinion rightly that even ardent supporters of Ramjanmabhoomi would not approve of Gandhiji's murder. It is such a revelation that has power to open their eyes to the corrosive nature of religious hatred.

Anand Patwardhan vs The Union Of India And Others on 19 July, 1996

21. Mr. Sebastian brought to my notice that in respect of another film the order of this Court for telecasting the film was virtually negated by exhibiting the film at midnight. He, therefore, requested that the film should be exhibited during reasonable hours. He requested for issuing similar directions to the respondents as in Anand Patwardhan v. U.O.I., . Mr. Sebastian also made an appeal to the Court to issue a directive to exhibit the film on national channel. I hereby direct the respondents to telecast the petitioner's film "Ram-Ke-Naam" on Channel I or II (Metro Channel) within two months from today between 6.00 to 11.00 p.m. if shown between Monday to Saturday or in the morning or evening slot if shown on Sunday. I also recommend to the Doordarshan that considering the powerful message of communal harmony conveyed by the film, the Doordarshan may consider its telecast on Channel I which has the maximum viewership.
