In its order, Bombay HC suggested that there is no need to delete the scratching scene from a song as asked by CBFC. 

Bombay HC also directed CBFC to issue a fresh disclaimer to Udta Punjab in 2 days. It also refused a stay on the film as suggested by CBFC. 

Bombay High Court suggested some abusive words to be deleted.

"There is no need to assert or incorporate abusive words in every dialogue," said HC.

# Punjab is land of green revolution, brave soldiers. One sentence (Zameen banjar te aulaad kanjar) can't affect that image.

# On cut no 9 (Tommy Singh urinating in front of crowd) ,we don't feel that this scene is necessary.

# High Court set aside cuts no 1, 2 & 3 suggested by CBFC.

# Film has to be seen in entirety and expletive words used should be seen that it does not offend sensibilities, says the court.

# We don't find anything in the film that shows Punjab in bad light or affects the sovereignty or integrity of India as claimed by CBFC.

# Creative freedom should not be unnecessarily curbed; nobody can dictate to a filmmaker about the content of his film.

# CBFC's powers to cut, delete or change scenes must be consistently in consonance with provisions of the Constitution and Supreme Court order,
