The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court reserved its order on a petition filed by filmmaker Karan Johar seeking quashing of a complaint accusing him of causing insult to national honour over playing of national anthem in one of his movies.
Justice D V Sharma had on July 16 summoned Johar along with the original film 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum' over his petition filed in 2002 but the Bollywood director could not appear in court due to health reasons, his lawyer CS Sinha told the court.
The lawyer also cited security reasons. A complaint was filed against Johar by Pratap Chandra alleging that the scene involving playing of national anthem had violated provisions Section 3 of the Prevention of Insult to National Honour Act of 1971.
