JAMMU, Mar 10: In a suit filed by Nirmal Kumari alias Shalini Khanna, W/o martyr Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna directing the defendants to immediately remove & delete the scene and incorrect facts displayed/shown viz-à-viz the husband of the Plaintiff namely martyr Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna in the Movie & the trailer of the movie "The Kashmir Files" set to be released on 11/03/2022 , which is absolutely and entirely unrelated and non-identical to actual facts occurred as mentioned in the suit by the plaintiff ; or in the alternate to amend/alter the scene and the incorrect facts vis-à-vis the husband of the Plaintiff namely Martyr Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna in the movie "The Kashmir Files".
Additional District Judge Jammu Deepak Sethi after hearing Adv Himanshu Beotra for the plaintiff restrained Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and Abhishek Aggarwal Arts through its Producer, Abhishek Agarwal of The Kashmir Files by way of temporary injunction from showing the scenes depicting the acts pertaining to the husband of the plaintiff namely Martyr Squadron leader Ravi Khanna in the movie 'The Kashmir Files'.
During the course of hearing Adv Himanshu Beotra for the plantiff submitted that in the year 1990, especially during its commencement at par , Srinagar was going through a humongous turmoil and strained atmosphere with the clouds of communal tension hovering all over its dimensions in the backdrop of different vital developments.
It is further submitted that the husband of the plaintiff has been shown to be distributing the toffees to the children in the movie while he was shot dead by the terrorist in a throwaway manner, which is in complete contradiction to the actual course of event occurred on the fateful morning of 25/01/1990. It is submitted that there was a call by the separatists for announcing Independence of the Kashmir on that particular day in lieu of which there was a curfew and government officials especially those of Defence forces were the prime target of the separatists in correspondence to their said call. However the scene depicted in the movie vis-a-vis the husband of the plaintiff has been shown in the manner which not only underrates the essence of the courage possessed by the husband of the plaintiff despite the looming threat by the separatists, but also tends to lower the intestinal fortitude and commitment of the soldiers who vow to put their life at stake despite all odds, for their motherland and the projection of the scene & the facts relating to the brave husband of the plaintiff in their documentary movie by the defendants has served a fatal shock to the plaintiff whereby the defendants, by paralyzing the real course of events, have drafted the said scene as per their infatuation without asking the same from the plaintiff or eye witness Flight Lieutenant B.R Sharma or from the contents of the case, pending disposal at TADA Court, Jammu which is easily available in public domain. However, the defendants alleged to have the events and information available in the public domain as the basis for the documentary movie which is unequivocally incorrect as the scene pertaining to the husband of the plaintiff is more a fiction and completely moved by their whims and fancies coupled with their obsessive aim to entertain the audience instead which defeats the very purpose of the said documentary movie.
