<p>Ali said he didn&#39;t think the Supreme Court would have thought of a situation like this and that he would be writing to the Chief Justice of India about what had happened to him and the plight of people like him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Supreme Court of India had on November 30 last year ordered cinema halls to play the national anthem before every movie, and said that the people present should stand up for it. (The order was passed -- to instil patriotism and nationalism among the people of the nation -- by the current Chief Justice of India.)&nbsp;</p>

<p>On December 9, the court modified its order, saying the differently-abled were exempt from the order.&nbsp;</p>
