But in the last hearing in October, the Court had rebutted the AG, saying values are inculcated in various ways but not by mandates of courts. Hinting at recalling its 2016 order, the Court had further observed that it is not required of an individual to wear patriotism on their sleeve all the time, and that not playing the national anthem in cinema halls won't make people anti-national.
Eleven months after its November 30, 2016 order, a three-judge bench, led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, had wondered why the court had to pass such an order when the central government was competent to regulate the playing of the national anthem.
