Overview

• A bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Neela Gokhale watched Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi and set aside the CBFC Revising Committee’s rejection.
• The court held the film contains no obscenity or defamatory content and directed certification for theatrical release without edits.
• Producers added a three-line statement clarifying the work is fictional and inspired by real events, which the court accepted.
• CBFC had initially flagged 29 issues, later reduced to 21, and raised concerns including the need for an NOC, which the court did not require.
• CBFC counsel argued potential defamation and obscenity but acknowledged he had not seen the film, while the judges noted the story draws on publicly available material; the makers will now decide a new release date.
