Jammu court restrains makers of 'The Kashmir Files' from showing scenes depicting late Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna

A Jammu court on Thursday passed an interim order restraining makers of the move 'The Kashmir Files' from showing scenes depicting late Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna in the movie [Nirmal Kumari alias Shalini Khanna V/s Director 'The Kashmir Files and others].

Additional District Judge Deepak Sethi passed the order on a suit by wife of late Squadron Leader contending that the scenes are not factually correct and demean her late husband.

"The defendants are restrained by way of temporary injunction from showing the scenes depicting the acts pertaining to the husband of the plaintiff namely Martyr Squadron leader Ravi Khanna in the Movie 'The Kashmir Files' to be released on 11th of March 2022," the order said.

The Court observed that if no relief is granted to the applicant without serving prior notice of the application on the defendants, the suit will become infructuous and defeated by delay.

The order is, however, subject to objections, alterations or modification if any by the other side, it added.

The plaintiff stated in her plaint that she herself had attended the premiere of the movie when she discovered that the facts pertaining to her deceased husband have been wrongly portrayed and was not based on true facts.

The defendants were given the liberty to move a motion for vacation of the interim order even prior to the next date fixed in the case, March 19.

Advocates Himanshu Beotra and Rohan Kidar Sharma appeared on behalf of the plaintiff.
