New Delhi, Feb 25 (UNI) The Supreme Court Wednesday rejected a writ petition seeking a stay on release of the film ‘Yadav Ji ki Love Story’, saying that the title of the movie does not portray the Yadav community in a negative manner.
A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan said the title did not contain any adjective or word that attached any negative meaning to the community.
The petition was filed through Advocate-on-Record Aftab Ali Khan. It pleaded that the title created a direct and offensive stereotype against an identifiable caste or community.
It argued that the title equated ‘Yadav’, a community and caste-identifying title, with ‘Love Story’, which implies illegal and illicit relations representing immorality.
The court said the name of the film in no way portrayed the Yadav community in bad light.
