Delhi HC refuses urgent hearing on Hindu Sena president's plea against 'Adipurush'

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to urgently hear a public interest litigation by Hindu Sena's national president to “stay the streaming” of the film "Adipurush", a retelling of the epic Ramayana.

A vacation bench of Justices Tara Vitasta Ganju and Amit Mahajan declined petitioner Vishnu Gupta's request to list the matter for hearing either



“today or tomorrow or day after”.

His lawyer said the PIL is listed for hearing on June 30 but the purpose of the petition would be defeated by then.   The court observed that the movie has already been released and the date of release was also known well in advance and no case was made out for an urgent hearing.
