The Lucknow Chief Judicial Magistrate today sought a report from the Gomti Nagar police station SHO on the registration of FIR against Sanjeey Leela Bhansali, director of Hindi film "Goliyon ki Raasleela: Ram Leela", and Censor Board chairperson Leela Samson.
Hearing a petition of social activist Nutan Thakur, CJM AK Singh has sought the report by December 8. Thakur moved the court, claiming that the police refused to register FIR against Bhansali and Samson.
Thakur claimed that the title of the film was passed by the Censor Board despite an order of the Allahabad High Court in a previous case filed by her where the court had said that religious sensitivity needs to be addressed.
