Noting that actor Malaika Arora was “intentionally” avoiding the legal proceedings by failing to appear as a witness in a 2012 hotel brawl case involving co-star Saif Ali Khan, a court in Mumbai has granted her last chance and warned of issuing a non-bailable warrant<\/a>. The court was irked after Arora failed to appear on April 29, days after a bailable warrant was issued against her. Arora, despite having knowledge of the summons issued to her, was “intentionally” avoiding the court proceedings, the court said. <\/p>\n

Arora was part of a group of diners that accompanied Khan at a five-star hotel on February 22, 2012, when the alleged incident occurred. <\/p>\n

The court had already issued a bailable warrant against the actor and had directed her to appear before it on April 29. <\/p>\n

However, when Arora skipped the appearance, Chief Judicial Magistrate K S Zanwar on Tuesday noted that an advocate representing Arora was present in court. <\/p>\n

“Despite the knowledge, she (Arora) is trying to avoid the court proceeding intentionally,” the court said. While granting the actor a last chance, the court posted the matter for further hearing on July 9 and said if Arora failed to remain present on that day, a non-bailable warrant would be issued. The court had first issued a bailable warrant against Arora on February 15. It was re-issued on April 8 as she didn’t turn up. <\/p>\n

Saif Ali Khan and two other accused were arrested following a complaint filed by NRI businessman Iqbal Mir Sharma. <\/p>\n

The actor was accompanied by his wife Kareena Kapoor, her sister Karisma Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, and some male friends at the hotel when the brawl broke out. <\/p>\n

According to police, when Sharma protested the raucous chatter of the actor and his friends, Saif allegedly threatened them and subsequently punched Sharma in the nose, causing a fracture. <\/p>\n

The NRI businessman also accused Saif and his friends of hitting his father-in-law Raman Patel. <\/p>\n

Saif, on the other hand, has claimed that Sharma made provocative statements and used abusive language against the women accompanying him, which led to the ruckus. <\/p>\n

Saif and his two friends- Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi – have been charge-sheeted under section 325 (assault) of the Indian Penal Code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
