Arrest of Jaipur Litfest producer stayed by HC
As per the court’s directive, the police will have to serve a notice seven days in advance before the arrest of Roy in the case.
The court also stayed the orders of the Jaipur police directing Roy and executive producer Sheuli Sethi to not leave the city till investigation in the case is over. However, it directed them to cooperate with the police in the investigation.
The petition was filed on Monday in the Jaipur Bench of the High Court seeking quashing of the FIR which was lodged last week by a local activist in connection with remarks of sociologist Ashis Nandy against ST, SC and OBC communities. Roy along with Nandy is named in the FIR. “We got the relief and may leave Jaipur but will keep cooperating with the police in the course of investigation,” said Roy.
