Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly LLB 3 is one of the anticipated franchises.

Now, the Allahabad High Court have rejected such a plea and claimed they have found nothing objectionable in the content and songs of the film.
Allahabad High Court rejects Jolly LLB 3 ban plea
The petitioners urged the court to halt the release of Jolly LLB 3, withdraw its song Bhai Vakeel Hai, revoke the CBFC certification, and direct the makers to apologise for allegedly portraying lawyers and the judiciary in a poor light. They contended that the film’s promos demean the dignity of advocates.
Now, the Allahabad High Court Division Bench of Justice Sangeeta Chandra and Justice Brij Raj Singh argued that they have seen the trailer and other promotional assets of Jolly LLB 3 multiple times. As per Live Law, the Bench said, “We did not find any objectionable matter to warrant interference by this Court. We have also gone through the lyrics of the song Bhai Vakeel Hai, and we do not find anything that may interfere with the practice of the legal profession by genuine Advocates. (sic)” The plea was dismissed without any costs.
