It was also prayed that directions should be issued that the National Anthem should be played in the cinema theaters across the country before the feature film and proper norms and protocol should be fixed with regard to playing or singing of National Anthem in an official function and the functions where certain constitutional dignitaries are present in strict compliance.\u00a0The Bench of Dipak Misra and Amitava Roy, JJ will hear the matter on 30.11.2016.
