Just In: PIL moved before #AllahabadHighCourt seeking stay on streaming of the short film 'Why I killed Gandhi'.

It's been alleged that it may disturb the peace and social harmony in Uttar Pradesh amid ongoing Assembly elections.
The petitioners have alleged that the movie which has been released on the OTT platform 'Limelight' has highly objectionable dialogues.
It's been also said that the content of the movie tarnishes #Gandhiji's image.
It is significant to note that against the release of this movie, a writ petition was filed before the Supreme Court which the top court refused to entertain. However, liberty was granted to the petitioners to approach the concerned high court.

Allahabad HC pushes for a "bio-social approach" while dealing with cases where charges under #POCSO Act get slapped even in matters of teenage affairs.
The court said, "Their decision could be impulsive, immature but certainly not sinful." Image
High Court was hearing a bail plea of a youth who was facing prosecution for various offences including rape and Section 3/4 of POCSO Act.

The man, who was himself a teenager at that time, had run away with a 14- year-old girl and got married. The couple now has a child too.
Granting bail to the man, the high court observed,
"The scheme of the POCSO Act clearly shows that it did not intend to bring within its scope or limits, the cases of the nature where the adolescents or teenagers involved in the dense romantic affair.”
