Bailable warrant issued against Mallika Sherawat

According to the complainant Rajanikant Borele, he has filed a criminal complaint against Sherawat for her obscene acts. CDs and video photos, which contain her obscene performances, were admitted by the court. The court had issued summons against her in April last year and directed the Varsova (Mumbai) police station officer to serve the summons on her.

Her lawyer moved an application to grant time for her appearance. The court has, on two previous occasions, allowed her plea and directed her to appear in person today, the last date of hearing of the case. However, the actress did not pay any attention to the court's summons and failed to appear in person today. The complainant has brought this to the notice of the court and pleaded for issuing a warrant against her.

Subsequently, the JMFC of Pandharkawda Sunil Boralkar has passed the order of bailable warrant of Rs 15,000 against Mallika. The complainant Rajanikant, who has obtained the warrant from the court, is now set to go to Varsova police station with the warrant to be served on the actress. Advocate K G Mutyalwar has appeared for the complainant in the case.

It may be recalled that earlier in November last year, Mallika was scheduled to visit Nagpur to attend a public entertainment programme. But she deferred the visit at the last minute in anticipation of being served with the court summons through Nagpur police during her stay in the city.
