A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani dismissed the plea filed by advocate Sujeet Kumar Singh. The plea sought a direction from the Election Commission of India to act against the violation of the Model Code of Conduct by the filmmakers.

The plea questioned the time of the film’s release and said if it was released as scheduled, it was likely to earn much electoral mileage for PM Modi. The petitioner urged the court to pass orders ensuring the film is not released on April 5 as scheduled.

However, after listening to all the arguments, the Delhi HC has rejected the PIL.

The release of Omung Kumar’s biopic on Narendra Modi has drawn flak from Opposition parties who have called it a political propaganda.
