'GunjanSaxena' row: Delhi High Court refuses to stay Netflix film's streaming, sets aside Centre's plea

The Delhi High Court has refused to grant stay on the streaming of the film, "GunjanSaxena: The Kargil Girl", starring JanhviKapoor. A single judge bench presided by Justice Rajiv Shakdhar deliberated on a petition filed by the Central government and the Indian Air Force, claiming that the film is showing IAF in a bad light. "You (Centre) had to approach the court when the film was about to be released. I understand your concern, but an injunction cannot be granted at this stage as the film is already out," the court said. The bench also issued notices to filmmaker Karan Johar, who is one of the co-producers of the film, his banner Dharma Productions, the digital platform Netflix that streams the film, and Flight Lieutenant GunjanSaxena, after making her a party to the plaint. The petition filed by the Ministry of Defence sought a permanent injunction 'to restrain the defendants from broadcasting, telecasting, and releasing in theatres and/or any other digital/OTT platform or in any platform in any manner whatsoever, the film 'GunjanSaxena: The Kargil Girl' in public domain, privately or otherwise, by any means whatsoever, without the grant of NOC from the Plaintiff (IAF)'.
