Supreme Court Refuses to Halt 'Udaipur Files' Release
A movie called 'Udaipur Files' is about a real event where a man was killed.
Some people don't want the movie shown because they think it's unfair.
The Supreme Court decided not to stop the movie from being released any longer.
The court wants people who have complaints about the movie to go to a different court in Delhi instead.
This other court had already paused the movie and is now in charge of figuring out what happens next.
The Supreme Court wants the Delhi court to consider the case quickly.
Supreme Court declined to extend the stay on the release of 'Udaipur Files'.
Petitioners were told to approach the Delhi High Court to challenge the government's order.
The film is reportedly based on the 2022 killing of Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur.
The Delhi High Court previously stayed the release and ordered a review.
The Supreme Court clarified it was not commenting on the case's merits.
