Indian court clears film based on 1993 Mumbai bombings

MUMBAI (AFP) - The court judgement on "Black Friday" comes as a Mumbai court hands down verdicts on 123 people being tried for the bombings.

The film was banned by the High Court in Mumbai last year after one of the accused filed a case saying its release would be prejudicial.

The Supreme Court, however, said the producers need no longer wait to release the film.

Journalist Hussain Zaidi, who adapted his book for the film's screenplay, welcomed the verdict.

"I am more than happy with the Supreme Court decision as more people will come to know about my work," said Zaidi.

Lead actor Kay Kay Menon, who plays the investigating officer to solve the case, said the court's decision was a "moral victory" for all films facing legal controversy.

The Mumbai court has convicted 25 people so far for involvement in the blasts. Eleven people have been acquitted.

Verdicts for the rest of the defendants, including Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, in the almost decade-long trial are expected in the coming weeks, with sentencing for the guilty to follow.

The 1993 attacks were carried out in revenge for Hindu-Muslim religious clashes several months earlier.
