The application points out that the couple has violated the condition of speaking to the media about the case.
It states that the order clarified that violation of condition would amount to cancellation of bail forthwith.

SPP Pradip Gharat mentions the application before Special Judge RN Rokade.

Gharat: Our application is not for cancellation of bail, it is for issuance of non-bailable warrant as the order stipulates that violation of condition would lead to cancellation forthwith.

Gharat: She says “I challenge you to stand for election opposite me in any constituency and to win the election which you would not, since you don't know the power of women which I will show you” she is saying this to the CM.

Gharat: She is saying “the hanuman bhakts will teach them a lesson”. This is a direct threat; she has no respect.

Gharat: She has given open challenge after coming out and this is a challenge to the order of the court. It is like them saying you do whatever you want.

Gharat: They are calling it vengeful act.. this shows that they are speaking about this case.
The order says they are not supposed to give threats to witnesses, but doesn’t this amount to threat.

Gharat: If they have grievances, they should have raised appropriate remedies before the court. The learned magistrate had asked accused persons if they have complaint and they said they had no complaints.

Gharat: They claimed in press that the officers who came did not have a warrant. But it is a pitiable affair that the law makers themselves do not know the law.

#NavneetKaur #MumbaiPolice #Sedition

Gharat: In cognizable offences, no warrant is required. It is pitiable that the MP and MLA are not aware of this law.

#NavneetKaur #MumbaiPolice #Sedition

Gharat: My submission is that their bail bond stands cancelled. What order is required is the arrest warrant against them.

#NavneetKaur #MumbaiPolice #Sedition

Gharat: No notice is required to be issued to anyone, as the previous order incorporates everything.

#NavneetKaur #MumbaiPolice #Sedition

Gharat: They have gone to Delhi now, and even then, they gave interviews in the press.

Court issues notice to Navneet and Ravi Rana in the application.
