Warrant issued against Pooja Bhatt by Court

On Friday a local court issued a warrant against actor turned producer Pooja Bhatt for not appearing while hearing. Social activist Vinod Jain has filed a case against Pooja Bhat in 2005 for portraying an indecent poster of her movie ''Rog'' as a part the film’s promotional campaign. The posters portray a skimpily clad South African Model Elina Hamman and some people objected to the poster. Police registered a case of obscenity against six persons including Bhatt.

Jain’s advocate Mr. Vijendra Jabra told media that "Bhatt did not appear before the court, so the court issued a bailable warrant against her".

On July 14, 2008 the Bandra court had discharged Bhatt and others accused from the case saying that there was no sufficient evidence against them. However, the session's court overrule that judgement January 10, 2011 and order the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate to assign the case to the new magistrate to conduct the trial. The case is likely to come up next on July 4.
