Madras High Court Orders Immediate Censor Clearance for Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan'

• Madras High Court directed CBFC to immediately grant final censor clearance for Vijay-starrer 'Jana Nayagan'.
• Justice PT Asha ruled CBFC's decision to re-examine the censor process was flawed, ordering U/A 16 certificate.
• Filmmakers approached the Court due to unexplained delay by CBFC in issuing the certificate, impacting the January 9 release.
• CBFC referred the film to a revising committee after a complaint from an examining committee member regarding portrayal of defence forces and religious sentiments.
• The Court rejected CBFC's arguments, stating that entertaining such complaints would set a dangerous precedent and undermine the examining committee's decision.
