The bench said it had on Tuesday posted for May 15 a separate plea against the Kerala High Court order refusing to stay the release of the movie and the fresh plea would also be heard on that day.
However, the bench agreed to list the plea for hearing on May 12 after Salve said, "We are losing money everyday."
'The Kerala Story' starring Adah Sharma was released in cinemas on May 5.
