The Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted interim protection from arrest to Kangana Ranaut and sister Rangoli Chandel, but asked them to appear before Mumbai police on January 8 in sedition case. The Court did not cancel the case against the sisters, as they had requested, after they skipped three summons to appear before the police.
The Judge refused to accept Kangana Ranaut and her sister's argument that they were busy with a wedding in the family. "We could not come because a wedding was on. That is why she has sent the statements," argued their lawyer.The judges replied: "Whatever, you have to honour the summons." The sisters have been accused by the police in a First Information Report of making objectionable comments on social media aimed at provoking communal tension. Ms Ranaut and her sister skipped a third summons to appear before Mumbai Police.
