The petitioner, Zuber Jabbar Gopalani, had said certain words in the song were likely to hurt the sentiments of the Muslim community and create a law and order problem in Mumbai. He had urged the court to direct the city police commissioner to ban the film's screening until the song was deleted.

But the division bench of Chief Justice M B Shah and Y S Jahagirdar dismissed the plea, ruling that there was nothing objectionable in the song.While counsel A H Solkar represented the petitioner, special public prosecutor Vijaya Kapse Tahilramani represented the police commissioner and the state government.

The petitioner had found two lines of the song objectionable. The first one: Jinke Sar Ho Ishq Ki Chaav, Paav ke Niche Jannat Hogi (Those who are blessed by the gift of love, will find heaven at theirfeet). The petitioner said Jannat is a holy concept, and it can be experienced at the feet of a mother, not at the feet of a lovelorn fellow, as depicted in the song.The other line which the petitioner objected to is: Tawiz Banake Pehno Ise, Ayaat Ki Tarah Mil Gaye Kahin, Mera Kalma Wahi.... Gopalani said the use of the words Taawiz (amulet with verses of Quran inscribed on it), Aayat (sentences of Holy Quran) and Kalma (fundamental tenets of Islam) was wrong, because these are sacred words not to be irreverently used in a film song.
