New Delhi, Jan. 9 -- The Madras High Court on Friday put on hold a single-judge directive that had instructed the Censor Board to issue a UA certificate for Vijay's film Jana Nayagan. The matter has now been scheduled for further hearing on January 21, following the Pongal holidays.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G Arul Murugan granted the stay after Additional Solicitor General ARL Sundaresan and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta (appearing through video conferencing) outlined the grounds for appeal by the CBFC and argued the matter.
