Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court has asked a petitioner, seeking a ban on the movie ‘Padmavati’ on the grounds that it allegedly propoagated the practice of Sati, to approach the Censor Board with his plea.

A division bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Abdul Moin on Thursday refused to interfere in the matter.

Petitioner Kamta Prasad Singhal had pleaded that under the Sati (Prevention) Act, the practice was banned and even its propagation was banned and made punishable.

Citing the said provision, the petitioner claimed that the movie showed women committing Sati and, therefore, should be banned.

Declining to go into the merits of the matter, the bench said the petitioner had another forum where he could appeal for his grievance. PTI
