The Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court today directed filmmaker Karan Johar to appear before it on July 20 along with his “original” film ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ on a plea objecting to playing of national anthem during a scene.

The order was passed by Justice D V Sharma on a petition filed by Johar in 2002 seeking quashing of a complaint under Section 3 of the Prevention of insult to national honour Act of 1971.

“Karan Johar shall appear in person before this court along with original film on July 20,” the order said.
