The Court had previously remarked that it cannot interfere with the artistic freedom of a film-maker unless there is any violation of laws. It had said that it would be beneficial if a team of police officers from the State Police watches the movie to ascertain if there are any such violations.
However, the same was misinterpreted by many on social media, the Court noted.
“This Court never directed the Police to find out whether foul or obscene language is used in “Churuli” film. The contents is correctly published in print and visual media. But I am told that social media started to create a story that High Court directed the Police to find out whether there is foul language in “Churuli” film. This is how social media forum is misused by a section of society,” the Court said.
The State Police team had found no violations of any existing statutes, and no criminal offence.
