Actor Aditya Pancholi’s advocate Prashant Patil said that the case is of 2019. An FIR was lodged against the actor at Versova police station under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code. The complaint was filed by a Bollywood actress. Patil said that the foundation of the case is based on those things. He said that Aditya Pancholi had filed a cancellation petition in the High Court, which was pending for many years. According to Patil, no one appeared on behalf of the complainant during the last hearing. The government lawyer appearing for the state of Maharashtra had told the court that even after 11 notices were issued to the complainant, she had not appeared at the police station for investigation. On 12 February, the High Court heard Pancholi’s plea seeking quashing of the FIR. During the hearing, the government counsel reiterated that several notices had been sent to the complainant without any response. After this, the court issued a new notice and directed him to appear on 24 February. In Tuesday’s hearing, representatives of the complainant appeared and asked for a week’s time. The High Court accepted the request and fixed March 4 as the next date of hearing.
