Natak v. The State of Kerala & 3 others

WP No. 6343/2024

Before the High Court of Kerala

#Heard by Hon’ble Mr. Justice Devan Ramachandran

#Order: The Single Judge closed the Writ as it was related to the #CochinCarnival held in December 2023 and thus has become #infructuous. time.

#Petitioner an #organization of #artists, #writers, and #activists, working in areas associated with #theatre wanted to host a #drama in December 2023 by the name “#Governorum #Thoppiyum”, as part of the “Cochin Carnival”, but this was #prohibited by the respondent- #SubDivisionalMagistrate, #FortKochi and who also happens to be the Chairperson of the Carnival Committee. The SDM asked the Association to #change the #Title of the play #else the petitioner would be #responsible for any law-and-order situation on its performance.

Counsel for the Petitioner submitted that the Sub Divisional Magistrate #misunderstood the #caption as a reference to the Governor of Kerala. The Drama was an adaption of the work of #FriedrichSchiller captioned as ‘#WilliamTell’. and if one sees the performance, it becomes evident that there is no reference to the Governor of Kerala.

The Submission of the #Counsel of the #State was the present writ that has lost its relevance as the Writ relates to the time when Cochin Carnival was hosted.

It was also submitted by the Government Pleader that the #script of Governorum Thoppiyum was #objectionable by the Carnival Committee having references to #constitutionalfunctionaries, which would have created #unrestduring the #Carnival, and therefore, that it was decided that the petitioner be directed to change the title, to avoid any such eventuality.

It was also submitted by the Counsel for the State that the #direction for the change of Title was #onlymeant for #CochinCarnival and is not a general injunction against the petitioner. The order for the change of title of the play was given only to #ensure that no #lawandorder #issues arise, on account of the #impact that the #Drama may have on #multifarioussections of people.

Dupeher is an experience of two kids. Running from school “Bigul” found life and a true friend “Kaptaan” who helped him escape and overcome his fears... This play is like opening an old trunk full of memories and living life Like a Kaptaan. @vihaandramaworks | @vihaanpictureworks | @maargiband | @actors.space #natak #vihaan #newplay #opening #firstshow #sankar #dupehar #lights #setup #technical #stage #actors #colors #vihaandramaworks #bts #play #dialogues #music #actors https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciw9CPirYOD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In Sankar, it was a silent station, mixed with internal emotions. Emotions that were stable yet chaotic, a story in which so much happens within than what is visible, a story that needed to be told were tonight turned into a cinematic experience that will always be remembered. @vihaandramaworks | @vihaanpictureworks | @maargiband | @actors.space #natak #vihaan #newplay #opening #firstshow #sankar #dupehar #lights #setup #technical #stage #actors #colors #vihaandramaworks #bts #play #dialogues #music #actors https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciw8P7SL7hb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
