Temporary respite for Bala

The city civil court in Chennai issued an order to make a public proclamation before Bala’s home and office for failing to file a counter for the allegations made against him. Tamil Nadu Handicapped Welfare Association’s secretary filed a petition at the court alleging that Bala depicted the handicapped people in poor light in his film Naan Kadavul and sought a stay for the film.

This issue was taken up by the court, but the defendants (Bala) failed to file a counter to the petition. Following this, the court ordered to notify him through a public proclamation.

Bala filed a petition at the High Court challenging this order and seeking a stay order. On taking up this issue, the High Court issued an interim stay order against the public proclamation till the 7th of September.
