Supreme Court Rejects Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' Plea, Sends Case Back to Madras HC

• The Supreme Court refused an urgent hearing for Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan', sending the case back to the Madras High Court.
• Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih stated they were "not inclined to hear the plea," citing the Madras HC's scheduled hearing on January 20.
• The apex court criticized producers KVN Productions LLP for rushing to the top court, suggesting they tried to bypass proper legal processes.
• The film, originally set for a January 9 release, is still awaiting its clearance certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
• Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi argued that announcing release dates before CBFC clearance is common, with 5,000 theatres booked for the film.
