Supreme Court refuses stay on ‘Indu Sarkar’ release

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to stay the release of filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar’s movie ‘Indu Sarkar’, which deals with the Emergency imposed in 1975 by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

A bench of Justice Dipak Misra, Justice Amitav Roy and Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, dismissed the plea filed by a woman who claims to be the biological daughter of late Congress leader Sanjay Gandhi.

“The movie is an artistic expression within the parameters of law,” said the bench while dismissing the plea of Priya Singh Paul.
