Bombay High Court dismisses PIL seeking change in Raja Shivaji’s title

The Bombay High Court has dismissed a public interest litigation that sought a stay on the release of a Marathi-Hindi bilingual film. The petition, filed by an NGO, objected to the omission of the honorific "Chhatrapati" from the film's title, claiming it was disrespectful to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The court rejected the petition, observing that the matter did not involve any real public cause and that the title was not insulting or derogatory
