The Supreme Court on Thursday (January 15, 2026) refused to entertain a petition filed by the production house of Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan against an order of stay passed by a Division Bench of the Madras High Court over the certification of the film.

A Bench headed by Justice Dipankar Datta questioned the “blistering pace” at which the Single Judge directed the issuance of the censor certificate on January 9. The Bench said the producer had not even challenged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) Chairman’s January 6 order to send the film before a revising committee.
