Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Team Padmavati have had a tough go at things in the recent months. According to the latest update in the PIL filed by a group of 11 people, the supreme court has dismissed their plea seeking a ban on the release of the film.
While dismissing the petition, the apex court said that the Censor Board has not yet issued a certificate to Padmavati, it is an independent body and therefore SC should not intervene in their jurisdiction.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said there were enough guidelines to be followed by the Censor Board to grant certification of a film before its release.
The plea seeking a ban on the film was filed by Siddharajsinh M Chudasama and 11 others. The group also demanded that a committee of historians should be set up to check the historical facts in the film.
