Kerala HC Judge Recuses from Hearing Petition on 'The Kerala Story 2' Certification
Kerala High Court judge Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas recused himself from hearing a petition challenging the censor certificate and title of the film 'The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond'. The petition sought removal of 'Kerala' from the title. The judge noted he had previously ruled on similar petitions and observed the matter had become infructuous. Earlier, a single bench had stayed the film's release, but a division bench later lifted the stay, allowing its release in February.
