Controversies

A petition was filed in the Gujarat High Court seeking a ban on the teaser, alleging it insults judges and court dignity. The petitioner said the film makes court proceedings look funny and tries to hurt the dignity of the court. The Gujarat High Court said the CBFC should look at the petitioner's arguments and tell when it will take a decision. The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court has dismissed a plea seeking ban on release of movie Jolly LL.B 3, holding that its trailer does not contain any objectionable content against lawyers.
