KANNUR: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has once again denied censor certificate to ‘ Ka Bodyscapes ’, the controversial Malayalam film by US-based filmmaker Jayan Cherian. However, following this, the Kerala High Court issued a strongly worded order asking the CBFC to comply with the majority decision of the Board instead of the Board chief taking a unilateral decision.According the letter by the CBFC Regional Officer in Thiruvananthapuram, issued on August 14, there was no unanimous decision amongst the panel of the Board Members who watched the film on July 28 at Thiruvananthapuram, and hence the Chairman of CBFC, by virtue of the powers conferred on him under proviso to Rule 24(12) of the Cinematograph (Certification) Rules, decided to recommend that ‘Ka Bodyscapes’ cannot be sanctioned for public exhibition.However, after the director moved the court once again on Wednesday, the High Court set aside the order of the CBFC and said that it should comply with the majority decision of the Board.“There is no provision either in Rule 20 or Rule 24 (12) of the Cinematograph (Certification) Rules, which says that the decision of the Board has to be unanimous and in the absence of unanimity, certificate has to be refused. We wonder from where this conclusion has been drawn,” said the order, which said even if the chairman of the Board is in the dissenting group, the majority decision has to prevail.Observing that the Board, including the Chairman is now in contempt, the order asked the Board to approve the majority decision. From the order itself it is obvious that a decision was taken by the majority, which decision was not unanimous, said the order.“The CBFC order itself has said that the decision was not unanimous, and the chairman using his power to deny permission to the film means that the majority wanted to give certificate to the film, so our confidence is that if the Censor Board comply with the majority decision, ‘Ka Bodyscapes’ will get censor certificate,” said Cherian’s lawyer Vijay V Paul.The CBFC, which denied certificate to the film on a few occasions earlier on ground of sex and obscenity, was compelled to watch it again after the High Court asked it to take a decision on certifying it.However, Cherian said he will continue the fight to get justice.“If the CBFC denies certificate to the film even after the court intervention, we might move the court again, because the Censor Board is trying to kill our spirit by delaying communication, but we will not yield before them,” he said.
