As per the ETimes TV report, Kangana’s advocate Rizwan Siddiquee appeared for the actress and stated that she would be appearing before the court on July 4. The case will now be heard next month on Monday. It is also being said that the actress has asked that the media should not be present when the Magistrate records her statement.

Not to forget, Javed Akhtar had earlier moved an application before a court for issuing a non-bailable warrant against Kangana.

His lawyer Jay Bharadwaj alleged Kangana has been making "false and incorrect statements” before the court and that she was just making excuses to exempt herself from appearing before the court.
