Mumbai, Apr 16 (UNI) The Bombay High Court on Wednesday granted protection (not to arrest or any
corrective action) till the court passed any order on a plea moved by stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, who is currently facing backlash for his controversial comments about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
During the hearing of a plea moved by Kamara seeking quashing of multiple FIRs (first information reports) against him following his satirical video and "gaddar" comment purportedly made against DCM Shinde, the division bench of Justices Sarang Kotwal and Shriram Modak noted, "Arguments concluded. In meantime as agreed by Public Prosecutor that summons are under 35(3) which specifically refers that arrest of person is not required, in that background arrest of this person does not arise. Matter reserved for orders till then petitioner shall not be arrested."
