Two new petitions have been filed before the Kerala High Court on Thursday challenging the release of the ‘The Kerala Story’ film.
The petitions were filed by Muhammed Razak KV and Thamanna Sulthana, whose counsel Rakesh K also wrote to the Registrar General of the High Court requesting that the matter be listed today because the film is set to be released tomorrow.
In this regard, the lawyer’s letter to the Registrar General also cited a Supreme Court order issued yesterday in a similar plea by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, in which it was stated that the petitioners could approach the High Court, and the High Court could consider a request for early listing of the case.
Another petition against the film is already pending in the Kerala High Court.
On Tuesday, the High Court sought responses from the Central Government, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), and the film’s producers in that petition, but the case is listed for further hearing on May 5.
A similar petition is also pending before the Madras High Court.
The Kerala Story is a film about a group of Kerala women who join ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). The film will be released on May 5, Friday.
