NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday adjourned till May 23 the hearing of a petition filed by the producers of the Hindi movie Black Friday, allegedly based on the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts in which
257 people were killed and 713 injured, challenging the Bombay High Court order restraining its exhibition on the grounds that it will prejudice the trial of mafia don Abu Salem and others.

The petitioner Mid-Day Multimedia Ltd filed an appeal against the impugned order of the high court on the grounds that the movie has nothing to do with the life of Salem, as claimed by him, and all characters in the movie are fictitious.

The conspiracy leading to the bomb explosions was allegedly hatched to settle scores for the demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992 and mafia don Dawood Ibrahim, Abu Salem and Dubai based Memons are the main conspirators in the case.

A bench comprising Justices BP Singh and RV Raveendran adjourned the hearing on the request of parties.

The writ petition was filed in the high court by respondent Mushtaq Moosa Tarani seeking a ban on the movie as it was based on the life of Salem and would prejudice the trial against him and other accused involved in the case, including film star Sanjay Dutt.

The petition was admitted by the apex court that vacated the stay granted by the high court against the release of the film.

The counsel for the petitioner pleaded before the court that judges should see the movie to decide whether there was anything in the movie which is likely to have any influence on the mind of the trial court or anybody else.
