A plea was today moved in the Delhi High Court for revoking the censor board clearance given to Bollywood film Indu Sarkar, a film based on the 1975-1977 Emergency.
The petitioner, a lawyer, mentioned the matter before a bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar which listed it for hearing tomorrow.

The petition claimed that the movie directed by Madhur Bhandarkar depicted late Indira Gandhi and her late son Sanjay in a bad light and was a "propaganda film".
The film is scheduled for release on July 28.

The petitioner, Ujjawal Anand Sharma, contended before the bench that the film-makers did not get a no-objection certificate from the Gandhi family prior to making the movie as was required under the film certification law when a movie was based on "real incidents" and people.

The petition claimed that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) did not insist upon an NOC on the ground that the movie does not mention the names of Indira Gandhi or Sanjay Gandhi.
