The Delhi High Court on Wednesday
dismissed a Public Interest Litigation filed against Raj Kumar Hirani directed,
Aamir Khan-starrer film PK, saying 'the
film was not offensive'.
A Division Bench of the Delhi High Court comprising of Chief Justice G.
Rohini and Justice R.S. Endlaw found no merits in the petition which sought a
ban on the film for alleged derogatory remarks against Hindu gods, Hindu
beliefs, faith and worship in the movie, and consequently proceeded to dismiss it.

The Bench asked: "What was wrong in the movie? We don't find anything offensive in
it. We don't find any substance in the plea."
The Court, reserving its judgment, said it will pass a detailed order in the petition later.
The Public Interest Litigation, filed by one Gautam, claimed that
the film made mockery of Hindu gods and Lord Shiva was shown in bad light.
"The
Hindu way of worship has also been criticised in a most unwarranted
manner," he alleged.
Additional Solicitor General Sanjay
Jain appearing for the Centre opposed the plea, saying similar matter came
before the Supreme Court which had rejected it.
