Madras HC lifts ban on release of Ghajini
 
The eagerly awaited Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini will be released on Thursday, as 
scheduled, as the Madras High Court on Wednesday lifted a stay on its release.
A division bench of Justices V. Dhanapalan and N. Satyanarayanan allowed the 
release.
Justice P.R. Shivakumar had stayed the Hindi film's release on Tuesday after A. 
Chandrasekaran, the producer of the original Tamil film of the same name, filed 
a suit saying that the producers of the Hindi remake had "fabricated documents 
to claim ownership over the remake rights".
Local firm KBC Pictures in its complaint said Murugadoss had entered into an 
agreement with it in 2004 for re-making the hit Tamil film in Hindi. Thus, the 
company claimed, the Hindi film was in violation of their contract.
The director's lawyer Venkatesh Dhond said: "The court has refused to stay the 
release of the film. The final hearing will be on Friday but for now the court 
has no objection to its release."
Preeti Puri, vice-president (corporate communication) of the film's overseas 
distributors Big Pictures, refused to comment on the matter.
"The matter is sub-judice and we cannot comment on the issue," she said before 
the Madras HC order came.
Earlier, the movie release cleared a hurdle when the Bombay High Court gave it 
a green signal. Justice S.B. Karnik of the Bombay High Court said the film can 
be released as scheduled but also asked director A.R. Murugadoss to file an 
affidavit on Friday clearing his stand.
