No Stay on Jolly LLB 3: Bombay High Court Rejects Plea Alleging Film Ridicules Judges
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition seeking to halt the release of Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the courtroom drama is set to release this Friday, September 19.
The petition, filed by the Association for Aiding Justice, claimed the film mocked lawyers and judges. It also objected to the song Bhai Vakeel Hai, alleging it demeaned the legal profession.
Advocate Dipesh Siroya, representing the petitioner, highlighted a scene where judges are called “mamu,” arguing that the term was derogatory.
However, the bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad dismissed the concerns, stating, “We have been facing mockery since day one. Don’t worry about us,” before rejecting the plea. The court was further informed that a similar petition had already been dismissed by the Allahabad High Court.

Meanwhile, legal challenges related to the film are ongoing in other states. The Madhya Pradesh High Court reprimanded a lawyer for filing a case without including the filmmakers as parties, while the Gujarat High Court advised a petitioner to first consider the Allahabad High Court’s order before proceeding.Despite these objections, Jolly LLB 3 remains on course for its scheduled release on September 19.
