The Bombay High Court yesterday refused to grant a stay on the release of Bengali movie ‘Dark Chocolate’ based on the Sheena Bora murder case. The court also told the petitioner, media baron Peter Mukerjea’s sister Shangun Das Gupta, to let the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) decide if the movie deserves a certification of not.

“Do not just assume that the CBFC will accept the film. There are mature people sitting on the board and we can’t show distrust in them. They know how to balance an act and know the reasonable restrictions as well,” the high court observed.
