Hyderabad, March 13 -- The Supreme Court on Friday, March 13, stayed an interim order of the Telangana High Court that required the state government to disclose any decision allowing an increase in cinema ticket prices at least 90 days before a film's release.

A Bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and AS Chandurkar said the High Court's direction could potentially affect film releases across Telangana and therefore required immediate intervention.

With the stay, the existing system for approving ticket price hikes in the state will continue for now.
