Dismissing the petition filed by a Congress activist seeking stay on the release of the biopic, the apex court said it was not entertaining the plea as it is "premature" as the movie has not yet been certified by the Censor Board.

It said even if the film is released on 11 April, as claimed by the Congress activist, it will be appropriate for him to seek a redressal from the Election Commission.

"We, therefore do not consider it fit to entertain the petition", a bench comprising CJI Gogoi and Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna said.
