casestatus.in Summary

On August 25, 2003, the Supreme Court disposed of the contempt petition filed by Anand Patwardhan against S.Y. Quraishi. The respondent had initially failed to comply with a December 12, 2001 court order directing him to constitute a committee to consider the petitioner's film proposal, but subsequently constituted the committee and considered the proposal. Although Prasar Bharati Board rejected the film's telecast citing the Censor Board's "adults only" certification, the Court found no contempt warranted, as the respondent had ultimately complied with the original order. The petitioner was left to challenge the Board's disapproval before an appropriate forum if aggrieved. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
