Federal Film Censor Board has been ordered to stop certifying Indian films by the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday, according to a private news channel.
The bench was headed by Justice Khalid Mehmood for hearing the case filed against the exhibition of Indian films in national cinema.
According to the petitioners, Pakistani film industry is collapsing, rendering thousands unemployed due to the exhibition of Indian films in the cinema. They added that according to the law, Indian films cannot be exhibited in Pakistan but certain elements are importing these films from Europe and Gulf state and the censor boards allows their exhibition without inspection of the documents.
The court ordered the censor board to stop certifying Indian films until further notice and issued orders for the Federal Government and the parties in the case to file their replies.
