A division bench comprising Justices Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and P V Balakrishnan passed the interim stay order after reserving its verdict late on Thursday night. The detailed order is awaited.
The development comes a day after Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas had stayed the film’s release for 15 days. In his interim order, the judge observed that there was a prima facie “manifest non-application of mind to the requirement of law” by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) while granting certification to the movie.
