It's notice, not order: TMC leader on SC's notice over 'The Kerala Story' ban in Bengal

India Today  

The Supreme Court on Friday pulled up the West Bengal government over its decision to ban the release of 'The Kerala Story' in the state. Responding to this, former Mizoram Advocate General and senior TMC leader Biswajit Deb said that it was not an order from the Supreme Court but a notice. The TMC leader further said the film ‘The Kerala Story’ was prohibited as per Section 6 of the West Bengal Cinemas Regulation Act, 1954, which states that a film can be permanently suspended if there is any chance of it inciting violence. Makers of 'The Kerala Story' approached the Supreme Court, seeking the removal of a ban on the film in West Bengal and its shadow ban in Tamil Nadu.
