The Supreme Court on Friday refused to stay a Bombay high court judgment making remarks against former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh in a case involving allotment of 20 acre land to filmmaker Subhash Ghai's institute. The apex court, however, said it will hear in detail the petition filed by Deshmukh, now a Union minister, seeking expunging of remarks made by the high court in its February 9 judgment.
He had written stories and screenplays for over 70 films in his lifetime.
The Bombay high court on Thursday ordered for the 20-acre land in suburban Goregaon, where Subhash Ghai's film institute Whistling Woods is located, to be handed over to the Maharashtra government.

Rajinikanth is the third cinema personality after the late thespian Sivaji Ganesan and the late director K Balachander, also Rajinikanth's mentor, to have been chosen for the award from Tamil Nadu.
Karzzzz plot is essentially replicated, but ironically the film is dumbed down -- as if audiences of today aren't as savvy as they were a couple of decades ago. Add to that a horribly cardboard Urmila Matondkar and an inconsequential Shweta Kumar in leading roles that required actual actresses.
