No need to stand in the theater during the national anthem: Supreme Court

A new turn came on Monday, when the Supreme Court said that, to prove patriotism, there is no need to stand in the cinema hall when the national anthem played before the screening of a movie. As the National Anthem case came up for hearing before the three-Judge bench of the Chief Justice, and Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and A.M. Khanwilkar,  differences between the Chief Justice, Dipak Misra and Justice Chandrachud came out into the open on the relevance of the court interim order.

The apex court said, the centre has to take a call uninfluenced by its earlier order on the playing of national anthem in the theaters. The court also remarked that if a person does not stand during the song then it cannot be assumed that he/she is fewer patriots.

Chief Justice Dipak Misra was the author of the Interim Order of November 30, 2016, which made it mandatory for all cinema-goers to stand and show respect to the compulsory playing of national anthem at the beginning of each show. Justice Chandrachud, showed his discomfort with the interim order, and began to quiz the Attorney General, K.K.Venugopal, on why the Government expects the Court to intervene in the matter.  Chief Justice Dipak Misra, whose views on the issue were already known, chose to remain silent chuckling once in a while, when Justice Chandrachud went on.
