SC refuses to ban movie title ‘Yadav Ji ki Love Story’, says it does not portray caste in bad light

The Supreme Court of India has declined a request to ban the movie title 'Yadav Ji ki Love Story', asserting that the film does not negatively depict the Yadav caste. The petitioners argued that the title could potentially harm the reputation of the Yadav community, which is classified as an Other Backward Class (OBC) in India. However, the court found no substantial evidence to support the claim that the title would lead to caste-based ridicule or discrimination. The ruling emphasizes the importance of artistic freedom and expression in cinema while balancing concerns regarding caste representation. The film, which revolves around a romantic narrative, aims to engage audiences without perpetuating stereotypes. This decision has been welcomed by many in the film industry as it underscores the judiciary's commitment to upholding creative liberties in storytelling.
