Akshay Kumar's highly anticipated film Jolly LLB 3, which is set to hit theaters on September 19, has faced a significant hurdle with a legal petition that sought a ban on its release. The petition, which argued that the film demeaned the legal profession, was recently dismissed by the Allahabad High Court. The Court reviewed the film's official trailers and songs, including the controversial song "Bhai Vakeel Hai", and concluded that there was nothing objectionable that warranted the Court's intervention.
The case, Jay Vardhan Shukla and Another vs Union of India and 6 others, was filed by petitioner Jay Vardhan Shukla, who argued that the film negatively portrayed the legal profession. Shukla claimed that the trailers and songs circulating on social media had already begun to prejudice the minds of practicing advocates and that such depictions could discourage law students from entering the legal profession.
The Court, however, disagreed with these claims after reviewing all aspects of the film’s promotional content. A division bench consisting of Justice Sangeeta Chandra and Justice Brij Raj Singh stated, "We do not find anything which may interfere in the practice of the legal profession by genuine advocates." The judges also pointed out that the song "Bhai Vakeel Hai" did not contain anything that could be considered harmful or derogatory to the legal profession.
In response to the petition, the Union of India, represented by Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey, challenged the maintainability of the plea. The government argued that the petitioner had failed to file a complaint with the appropriate authorities regarding the film. Furthermore, it was highlighted that under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, those aggrieved by online content should first approach the content intermediary or publisher. With this in mind, the Court dismissed the petition, clearing the way for the film's release.
Akshay Kumar and co-star Arshad Warsi were summoned by a Pune Civil Court in connection with another petition that claimed the film’s teaser portrayed lawyers and judges disrespectfully. Despite these challenges, the film’s release remains on track, and Jolly LLB 3 is set to release on September 19.
