SC rejects plea to ban "Yadav Ji ki love story", stating the title does not portray Yadav community in bad light and urging tolerance towards fictional content.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a petition seeking ban on the movie “Yadav Ji ki love story" while questioning whether a marriage of Hindu girl from Yadav community with a Muslim man was “destroying the national fabric?"

The plea, filed by Vishwa Yadav Parishad chief, alleged that the title of the movie is a direct and offensive stereotype against the Yadav community. It further pointed out that the movie features a Hindu girl from Yadav community falling in love with a Muslim man.

While rejecting the petition, the Bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan questioned, “Is Hindu girl marrying Muslim boy destroying the national fabric?"

The court further said that the title of the movie did not have did not have any adjective or word portraying Yadav community in bad light, Bar and Bench reported.

“We have perused the material on record. The main grievance is that the name of the forthcoming film reflects the Yadav community in bad light in the society. Therefore the contention is that the name of the film is to be changed. We fail to understand as to how the title of a film can reflect the community in bad light. The title of the film nowhere has any adjective or any word that portrays the Yadav community in bad light. The apprehensions are wholly unfounded," the Bench said.

The petitioner’s counsel contended that the movie claims to be based on a real story.

“The movie has not been released. If after it is released if something really hurts, we may be allowed to approach (the Court)," the counsel submitted.

“Have a thick skin. It is fiction. In one week it will all be over. No one is going to theatres these days. Everyone is watching on phone," the Bench responded.
