HC turns down plea seeking ban on Videsh

Showing no interest in the averments raised,the Division Bench,however,dismissed the petition,which was later withdrawn by Watts. The petitioner had referred to a scene in the Preity Zinta-starrer where an elderly woman had been shown expressing her desire to eat chicken while watching Gurbani.

The petitioner had termed it a disrespect to Gurbani and demanded the scene be deleted from the film directed by Deepa Mehta.

The averments failed to find favour with the court,which flatly refused to entertain the petition.
