AJMER: The petition filed by the district bar association here to halt the shooting of the film 'Jolly LLB 3' in Ajmer will be heard by the civil judge and judicial magistrate, North Ajmer, on May 10. Lawyers representing the film's actors Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi and director Subhash Kapoor, represented by an advocate from Jaipur, were present in the court on Wednesday.
District bar association president Chandra Rathore said lawyers had objection to the film because it was presenting them and the judiciary in a bad light. "People will think that a judge eats gutkha and advocates fight for fees with clients, which is not the reality," said Rathore.
The bar association demanded that a committee be formed over the film's shooting at the office of the divisional railway manager (DRM), which, the association said, was a public office that could not be used for such purposes. The advocate representing the railways urged the court to dismiss the petition.
The advocate on behalf of the producer demanded time to file reply.
