With the Supreme Court making it clear that there is no legal basis to bar the screening of The Da Vinci Code, States such as Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Nagaland, and Meghalaya, which had rushed to [297] its screening, would be well advised to reverse course. While dismissing a petition seeking to ban the screening on the ground that it would hurt the religious sentiments of Christians, the Court pointed out that it was to be regarded as no more than a work of fiction and that the censor board had cleared its screening. Further, it had not been regarded as hurting religious sentiments and banned elsewhere, including in countries with predominantly Christian populations. If the film could pass the process of pre-censorship with its rigid guidelines, it could hardly be said to [298] religious sentiments, much less pose any danger to public order. The States that have [299] Section 13 the Cinematograph Act of 1952 to prohibit its exhibition on the ground that it was “likely to cause a breach of the peace” have clearly abused the extraordinary power [300] on them by the Act in an overzealous attempt to [301] to religious sentiment.
