AWDESH KUMAR YADAV vs UNION OF INDIA — W.P.(C) No. 252/2026

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Awdesh Kumar Yadav (National President of Vishwa Yadav Parishad) challenging the film "Yadav Ji ki Love Story." The petitioner sought to restrain the film's release and change its title, alleging caste-based stereotyping that violated Constitutional rights. The Court found no negative connotation in the film's title toward the Yadav community and held that the film title contains no derogatory adjectives or appellations. Upholding freedom of expression under Article 19(1)(a), the Court ruled that court interference would impinge on the filmmaker's creative freedom and dismissed the petition, noting the film is merely fiction.
