The Supreme Court will hear the plea against the Bombay High Court order appointing a panel to review the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Jolly LLB 2’ on February 7. The apex court deferred the hearing as the matter will be heard by the Bombay High Court on February 6.

On February 1, A bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justices N V Ramana and D Y Chandrachud had said that it would hear the appeal of Fox Studio, the producer, on February 3.

Senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for the film producer, said the movie, which is releasing on February 10, has already been cleared by the CBFC and the appointment of the panel is not as per the law.
