The Supreme Court today dismissed a petition seeking deletion of certain alleged objectionable scenes from Bollywood movie Padmavati, calling it premature.<br/><br/>A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra observed that Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has not yet given certificate to the movie and the apex court cannot injunct a<br/>statutory body from doing its duty.<br/><br/>The bench also struck off certain paragraphs from the plea, saying pleadings in a court are not meant to create any kind of disharmony in the society.<br/><br/>The petitioner had alleged that there was character assassination of Rani Padmavati in the film and the CBFC<br/>should not go into these aspects.<br/><br/>The bench said, the court cannot direct the CBFC to decide a matter in a particular manner as it was for the board to take a call.
