The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to list for urgent hearing a plea seeking a stay on the October 25 release of Ajay Devgn-starrer movie ‘Thank God’ over alleged derogatory references to Lord Chitragupta.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice Bela M Trivedi listed the plea of Shri Chitragupta Welfare Trust for hearing on November 1.
Besides seeking a stay on the release of the movie, the plea has also sought a direction that its trailers and posters be removed from electronic and social media platforms like ‘Youtube’ as it allegedly contained “derogatory expressions, acts, statements, dialogues and insulting images, videos in and around the character of God Chitragupta”.
