The Kerala High Court on Tuesday held that intolerance for cultural and artistic expressions was not something that behoved well for a civilised country like India.
Justice Devan Ramachandran made the observation while considering a petition seeking to prevent the release of the movie Antony, as it contained a scene where the Bible was used to conceal a firearm.
The petitioner, who stated that he believed in the Christian faith, felt that the scene denigrated the faith itself. He wanted the scene to be removed from the movie and the court to issue directions to the the Regional Officer of the Central Board of Film Certification for necessary action.
