Officials said the makers of the film, which is at the centre of a massive controversy, had approached the appellate tribunal against the cuts suggested by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
"The matter related to the movie 'Udta Punjab' will come before the appellate tribunal on June 17," a senior official said.
The film was earlier slated for release on June 17.
It is learnt the date for hearing has been given as FCAT chairman Justice (retd) S K Mahajan is currently abroad on sanctioned leave. He is expected to be back on June 16.
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap had earlier lashed out at censor board chief Pahlaj Nihalani over the slew of changes that had been suggested by a revising committee to be made including deleting Punjab signboard in the drug-themed film.
