Even as Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani continues courting controversy over the indiscriminate chopping off scenes in films, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is embroiled in over a hundred court cases, more than half of which accuse the Board of being too "liberal".

"While we categorise and clear films after the recommended cuts are implemented, several cases are filed against us for allowing content which people feel should not be cleared. With our limited staff, fighting these cases hampers our routine work," a CBFC official said.
