The Supreme Court on April 23 dismissed the plea of social activist Swami Agnivesh seeking deletion of scenes from the film `Padmaavat` on the ground that it glorified the practice of `Jauhar`. The apex court bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra rejected the plea of Angivesh which also sought lodging of FIR against the producer and director of the film for glorifying the social evil of jauhar (self immolation by widows on their husband`s funeral pyre).Once CBFC clears the movie, deletion of scenes cannot be directed,” the bench said. The Deepika Padukone-starrer `Padmaavat`, based on the saga of a historic 13th century battle between Maharaja Ratan Singh and his army of Mewar and Sultan Alauddin Khilji of Delhi, has Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in lead roles.
