Delhi HC refuses to entertain plea to stay release of Sunny Deol-starrer Suryaa

The Delhi High Court has declined to entertain a public interest litigation seeking a stay on the release of Suryaa, the Sunny Deol-starrer.

A bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Nitin Wasudeo Sambre and Justice Sanjay Sharma said it was not inclined to take up the petition because the same issue had already been raised in another writ petition.

Related case is already pending

The court noted that the separate petition was filed by members of the doctor fraternity and is currently before a single judge. The bench therefore did not proceed with the PIL.

The order addresses the maintainability of the public interest petition rather than determining the underlying issue raised in the related proceedings. No further details about the dispute or the film’s release timeline were provided in the available information.

What the ruling means

The decision leaves the related writ petition as the pending legal proceeding identified by the court. The Delhi High Court’s latest action was limited to declining to entertain the PIL seeking a release stay.

The matter involving Suryaa therefore remains linked to the separate petition before the single judge, where the issue raised by the doctor fraternity is pending consideration.
