The defamation suit has been filed by a Gujarat based non-profit organisation named Justice on trila.

Justice Sachin Datta issued summons on the suit and listed the case for further consideration in September.
“It is contended that the said documentary makes defamatory imputation and caste slur on reputation of the Country and Judiciary and against the Prime Minister of India. Issue notice to the respondents through all permissible modes,” the court ordered.
