MUMBAI: Exactly 12 days after the Madhya Pradesh High Court in Jabalpur issued a notice to Aamir Khan and three others for alleged obscenity and use of abusive language in Delhi Belly, the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court has issued notices to Aamir Khan Productions, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Censor Board of Film Certification challenging the public exhibition certificate issued to the film.

The petitioners alleged that the film had indecent, immoral and abusive language. They submitted that it was clear violation of Section 5 B of the Cinematograph Act.

The notices were issued by the bench of Justice Uma Nath Singh and Justice Anil Kumar on a writ petition seeking direction to quash the certificate for public.

The notices were issued by the bench of Justice Uma Nath Singh and Justice Anil Kumar on a writ petition seeking direction to quash the certificate for public exhibition issued to the film that released on 1 July.

The Court has asked the respondents to file a reply within four weeks.

It may be remembered that it is because of the same reason that Nepal and Pakistan banned the film.
