JANUARY 29, 2013: VISHWAROOPAM: A movie that stars Kamal Hasan was banned in
Tamil Nadu by the Government on the account of threat of demonstrations and processions and threats of violence. Madras High Court lifts ban on January 29, 2013 and permitted the screening of the movie. Controversy: The courts exist principally to dispense justice, not to hand out advice which in the case of Vishwaroopam seems entirely gratuitous (unwarranted) (A day before the Madras HC advised Kamal Hasan to settle the issue with the Government). In the year 2011 the SC set aside the 2 month ban on the Hindi film ‘Aarakshan’ on the ground that the states cannot proscribe films that have been cleared by the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) on the mere apprehensions that screening them may cause a law and order problem. SC held that the freedom of expression cannot be suppressed on account of threat of demonstrations and processions and threat of violence.
