PIL Filed in Punjab & Haryana HC to Restore Diljit Dosanjh's 'Satluj' on ZEE5

A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking the reinstatement of Diljit Dosanjh's film 'Satluj' on the ZEE5 streaming platform. The film was taken down just two days after its release, with no public explanation provided for the removal. The petitioner argues that pulling the film without justification amounts to a violation of the right to freedom of speech and expression. The petition challenges the lack of transparency surrounding the decision to remove the content. Authorities have since constituted a committee to look into the matter, though the reasons behind the takedown remain undisclosed.
