After winning the battle against CBFC, Bombay High Court passed Udta Punjab with one cut earlier this week. The makers of the film were relieved after the verdict until a plea was filed against the film at the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court declines stay on Udta Punjab’s releaseA plea was filed by Punjab-based NGO Human Rights Awareness Association to stop the screenings of the film as it focuses on the drug menace prevailing in Punjab and will show the state in bad light.

Later, a bench of Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and L. Nageswara Rao heard plea and declined the stay on the film's release and allowed the NGO to approach Punjab and Haryana High Court.
