The Supreme Court on Friday accepted the government's plea and granted two weeks to submit comprehensive response regarding objectionable portions of the film Maalik.

The court also expressed annoyance over reply submitted by Mubashar Hassan Chairman Central Film Censor Board and remarked that how CFCB can ban a movie without viewing.

A two-judge bench consisting of Justices Umar Atta Bandial and Qazi Faez Isa took up a federal government appeal against the Sindh High Court's Sept 9 order quashing the government's notification de-certifying the censor certificate under Section 9 of the Motion Pictures Ordinance 1979.
