The Madhya Pradesh High Court has refused to stop the release of the film Haq, dismissing a petition filed by Shah Bano's daughter. The court said the movie carries a clear disclaimer stating that it is a dramatized and fictional interpretation inspired by the 1985 Shah Bano Supreme Court judgment, not an exact biography of any real person. The judge also noted that details related to the case are already part of the public record, and once information enters the public domain, privacy over it no longer applies.
