Bombay HC hears the anticipatory bail application of veteran actor Vikram Gokhale in connection with a case of alleged cheating and fraud over a 25-year-old land development project at Mulshi.
Sr. Adv. Shirish Gupte appearing for Gokhale argues that he was only the brand ambassador to attract people to the project.

He states that he was never on the board of the company Sujata Farms which is the company developing the project.
Court asks if there are any advertisement to prove Gupte's point.

Gupte: This project is 25 yrs old, the ads are 25 yrs old.
I can get it, but I do not have them now.

Court: APP says there are videos
Addl. Public Prosecutor Gawan states he has videos, but not from the investigating officer.

The court asks him to get the videos from the APP and also asks Gupte to produce any other advertisements.
APP points out that Gokhale has resigned as the Chairman.

Gupte points out that the resignation is from the Girivan Group of Industries (a different company) and not from Sujata Farms.
Gupte points out to the interim order of the Sessions Court, Pune which had rejected Gokhale's anticipatory bail of the lower court.

The interim protection in that order expires on October 17.
Court asks the parties to ascertain the nature of the two different entities and their connection with Gokhale and grants one week's time.

Court extends the interim protection of arrest till the next hearing.
Gupte asks for an additional week as he may need more time for getting information. APP does not reject.

Court extends the interim protection of arrest till October 28.
