As blogged about here, the Bombay HC had allowed Amit Mehra to go ahead with the production and release of the remade Zanjeer. Against this order, an SLP was filed by Sumeet and Puneet Mehra. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ordered a stay on the release of the film. It appears from this report, that the order of stay will continue till the arbitration between the two parties is completed. The court also directed the arbitrator to expedite the arbitration so as to complete it within the next six weeks.
