Pant, JJ., passed an Interim Order putting a stay upon the privilege proceedings against her with regard to the issue.<\/p>\n<p   >In a recent development, Chief Minister of <st1:place w:st=\"on\">Maharashtra<\/st1:place>, Devendra Phadnavis had announced that Marathi films must be shown compulsorily during Prime Time on minimum one screen out of many screens in all the multiplexes for encouraging Marathi Cinema. Shobha De took to popular social networking site Twitter to express her objections upon the move. &nbsp;Her views did not go down well with some members of the political fraternity. In pursuance of the matter, a Notice No.17477\/M.L.\/D-10 dated 10.04.2015, was issued to the petitioner by the Principal Secretary, Maharashtra Legislature.<\/p>\n<p   >Appearing for the petitioner, C.A. Sundaram contended that the petitioner\u2019s tweets do not affect the privilege of the Legislative Assembly; rather it is an expression of her opinion on the issue. It was further argued from the petitioner\u2019s side that the tweets in question, if read in apposite manner, are comments on the Government and they do not even remotely affect the privilege of the Legislature. <i>Shobha De <\/i>v. <i>Chairman, <st1:place w:st=\"on\">Maharashtra<\/st1:place> Legislature Secretariat, <\/i><font size=\"3\"><a
