The Delhi High Court on Monday disposed off a plea seeking a ban on the trailer of the movie The Accidental Prime Minister, saying it should be refiled as a public suit.
Justice Vibhu Bakhru observed that the petitioner, Pooja Mahajan, a Delhi-based fashion designer, has no personal interest in the matter should refile it as PIL.
The plea, filed by Mahajan through her counsel Arun Maitri, said the trailer violated Section 416 of the Indian Penal Code as the impersonation of a living character or living persons is not permissible in law.
