According to the court, no offence falling under Pakistan’s legal jurisdiction or local police limits has been established. The judge said that although the matter may be sensitive, it should be addressed at the state level through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The court further stated that if the applicant still wishes to pursue the issue, they may approach PEMRA or relevant federal government forums instead of the court.

The judge remarked that filing such petitions in court appears to be an attempt to attract media attention rather than seeking a lawful legal remedy.
The court relied on clear jurisdiction rules. Lack of screening evidence proved decisive. Judges advised diplomatic and regulatory channels. The ruling limits misuse of courts in foreign film disputes.
