The film 'Corrupt Pandit' directed by Neeraj Pandey faced legal issues following criticism from various organizations, particularly from the Brahmin community. In light of the backlash, the filmmakers decided to withdraw the controversial title, leading the Supreme Court to close petitions filed against the film. The Court praised the filmmakers for their positive response and emphasized that the controversy should be completely resolved.

During the court proceedings, senior lawyer N.K. Kaul, representing the filmmakers, argued that the title has been entirely withdrawn, and there was no intention to insult any community. The term 'Pandit' was used as a nickname for the main character in the film, which centers around a corrupt police officer's transformation into a good one, within the crime drama genre. This clarification seemed to resonate positively with the court.

Justice Nagarathna also acknowledged the nuances of the terms 'Pandit' and 'Pandity', indicating an understanding of the sensitivity surrounding the terminology used in the film. The filmmakers had aimed to portray a narrative focused on character development rather than perpetuating stereotypes, and their proactive decision to withdraw the title demonstrates their commitment to cultural sensibilities.
