Black Friday, a film on the 1993 Mumbai blasts whose release was stayed following demand by some of the accused in the case, can now be screened across the country after the Supreme Court gave a go ahead to its release.
A Bench comprising Justice BP Singh and Justice Altamas Kabir permitted the release of the film with the rider that it would not be shown till the ongoing pronouncement of the judgement gets completed by TADA court in Mumbai.
However, the court clarified that the producer can go with the release of the film without waiting for the pronouncement of quantum of sentence against the convicts. The order which came on a petition filed by the producer of the film, Mid Day Multimedia, was pending before the court for almost a year and a half.
The producer had challenged the Bombay High Court order staying the screening of the film until the judgment in the case was finally delivered. Mustafa Moosa Tarani, one of the accused, now convicted by the TADA court, had objected to the screening of the film pending trial contending that it may cause prejudice against him and could have adverse impact on the judge trying the case.
