Rajasthan likely to file a review petition

JAIPUR: The state government is likely to file a Review Petition against Supreme Court‘s stay on the ban on Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s film Padmaavat. The government has formed a committee which will study the Supreme Court’s order and take a further call over it in a meeting on Saturday. The committee members include senior cabinet ministers Rajendra Rathore, Gulab Chand Kataria and senior officers of home and law departments.
Parliamentary affairs minister Rajendra Rathore said, “We will approach the Supreme Court with a review petition. A committee formed by the state government will discuss the Supreme Court’s order in a meeting on Saturday.”
Officials including Manoj Kumar Vyas, principal secretary, law, and others will take part in the meeting. When contacted, Deepak Upreti, additional chief secretary, said, “Various legal experts and officials of law and home departments will sit with the ministers to study the order and discuss the ways and options left in filing a review petition.”
Sources further said that the government will also discuss that if there is no scope of filing a review petition, what remedies are left before the state government. “We respect the Supreme Court’s order. However, in a scenario where a community is threatening to be violent and asserting that the film is going to affect their sentiments, we will have to explore possibilities to maintain law and order in the state,” said a senior officer of law department on the condition of anonymity.
