The film must be assessed as a whole, from the standpoint of an ordinary reasonable viewer, not a hypersensitive audience. On that standard, criticism of caste-based reservation and advocacy of economic criteria did not amount to unlawful incitement or justify suppression of protected speech, so revocation of the certificate was unwarranted. The procedural objection also failed because the relevant order authorised the regional member to constitute the Revising Committee, and no illegality or favouritism was shown. en-us Thu, 30 Mar 1989 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 08 Apr 2019 14:16:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279843 Motion pictures are protected expression under Article 19(1)(a), but certification may be restricted only where the film's overall impact creates a proximate and direct risk falling within Article 19(2).
