The Maharashtra government had denied permission to actors above 65 years of age for shooting due to coronavirus.

The state government orders also said that the shooting should be done following all the social distancing norms.

This caused a huge challenge for the senior crew members, who were the sole earning members of their family.

The Bombay High Court on Friday quashed two government resolutions issued by the Maharashtra government that barred film and TV artistes and crew members above 65 years of age, from going to work to studios or outdoor sets during the COVID-19-induced lockdown.

The bench, however, said that "all other advisories applicable for all persons above 65 years of age, will be applicable for those above 65 years of age working in the film and TV industry."

A detailed judgement of the court is likely to come later in the day.
