National anthem in movie halls not a must: SC

Now it is now longer mandatory to play national anthem in movie theatres.

The Supreme Court in its new judgement said that playing the national anthem in cinema halls should not be made compulsory. The court modified its 2016 order

On Monday, the Union home ministry filed an affidavit after the court, in October last year, asked it to decide on the issue following a nationwide debate on its earlier order.
