Allegations of disrespect towards the judiciary system have surfaced, leading to a complaint filed against the film’s team in Ajmer. The legal dispute raises concerns about the portrayal of legal institutions in popular media and underscores the need for sensitivity and respect in cinematic depictions.
The Allegations: Ajmer District Bar Association President, Chandrabhan Singh Rathod, has lodged a formal complaint against the producers, director, and actors of ‘Jolly LLB 3’, citing concerns about the film’s portrayal of lawyers and judges.

The association seeks to prevent further production of the film until the matter is addressed, requesting the issuance of a notice to the film’s stakeholders. The hearing of the case is imminent, with both sides preparing to present their arguments.
