The Bombay High Court on Tuesday quashed the petition of special screening of Prakash Jha’s film Aarakshan and cleared the path for its release on August 12. A division bench of Justices D D Sinha and A R Joshi passed the order while hearing a petition filed by two advocates seeking a preview of the film, claiming it was anti-reservation and could disturb peace and harmony. The movie has faced protests from several political leaders in Maharashtra including state minister Chhagan Bhujbal of NCP and RPI (Athavale) chief Ramdas Athavale, besides the National Commission for Secheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes over its alleged anti-quota stance.
