Bombay HC to announce its verdict on Udta Punjab on Monday. Arguments conclude in Udta Punjab censorship row with the Court set to pass the order on June 13.

The Bombay High Court reminded Pahlaj Nihalani, chief of the Central Board of Film Certification, that his job is to certify films not censor them.

Nihalani is in the eye of the storm for the 89 cuts he has inflicted on Bollywood film "Udta Punjab", whose producer Anurag Kashyap and his Phantom Films have taken the board to court over it.

"The word censor is not anywhere in the act. Your power is to certify films for public exhibition," the court observed today.

The Udta Punjab makers have agreed to delete the scene showing the protagonist urinating, but have refused to delete the explitives.
