The award policy was also not required to mirror uncensored entry rules used for non-commercial film festivals, since the two programmes served different purposes and different eligibility norms were permissible. Exemptions for Film Institutes and Doordarshan did not create a right to equal treatment, as illegality cannot be claimed as a basis for parity. The challenge to the certification-based entry rules therefore failed. en-us Wed, 11 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 29 Jan 2024 10:15:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188274 Film Award eligibility could be restricted to films certified for public exhibition because the certification rule was tied to the scheme's object of selecting films already fit for public viewing; it did not bar production, exhibition, or certification rights and was not unconstitutional or arbitrary.
