Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala High Court on Tuesday orally observed that the order of the Union Minstry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B), which banned the exhibition of three documentaries at the 10th International Documentary And Short Film Festival Of Kerala (IDSFFK), was wrong.

Admitting a writ petition filed by the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy, justice Suresh Kumar said the court would not pass an interim order at this point. The Center had been asked to file a counter affidavit in 14 days, after which the court would pass a judgment.
