The Delhi High Court reviews the case concerning the film 'Udaipur Files - Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder', which awaits re-certification by the CBFC.

The Delhi High Court was briefed on Monday about the status of the film 'Udaipur Files - Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder,' which is under re-certification review by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film producers had previously adhered to modifications requested by the Center, including six scene cuts and an updated disclaimer.
With re-certification pending, the court deferred the hearing to July 30, noting the lack of urgency. The producers' appeal against a previous high court order preventing the film's release was deemed unnecessary by the Supreme Court after they agreed to the Center's conditions for approval.
The movie revolves around the high-profile murder case of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, allegedly committed due to a controversial social media post. Investigated by the NIA, it led to charges under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, with the trial ongoing before a special court in Jaipur.
