MUMBAI: The Bombay high court has given a final opportunity to Maharashtra government to submit its affidavit in response to a petition by noted filmmaker-actor Amol Palekar challenging the rules which make the pre-censorship of play scripts mandatory. The government had last month orally informed the court that as per a notification issued in March this year, pre-censorship of plays and dramas was no longer mandatory.
