feature film in the name of "Shree Baba Neeb Karori Maharaj" and its

trailer.

submit that the Certification is issued on 11 May 2026 by the CBFC for the

said film. He also submits on instructions that such certificate has been

collected by the Petitioner. Mr. Singh on further instructions has stated that

as far as the certification for the trailer of the said film is concerned, that
