High Court of Delhi directed Ex-Flight Lieutenant Gunjan Saxena to file an affidavit mentioning her take on the depiction of the Indian Air Force and assessment on the content shown in the movie ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’ streaming on Netflix.
The Single-Judge bench of Justice Rajiv Shakdher also asked Saxena to mention whether the film producers violated the terms of any agreement, which they entered into with her.
Senior Lawyer Dayan Krishnan, representing Saxena, told the Court that the disclaimers, shown in the film, states that the movie is “not an official biopic but merely inspired by her story”.
He also told the Court that Saxena felt that the movie actually “glorifies” the IAF.
Previously High Court of Delhi had denied to grant an interim order of injunction against the movie “Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl” and asked Dharma Productions Private Limited, Karan Yash Johar, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, Netflix, & others to file a reply on the Centre & Indian Air Force’s plea against the movie.
The Court listed the matter for further hearing on Oct 15.
