The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to give an early date for hearing filmmaker Karan Johar's petition seeking quashing of a criminal case against him for allegedly insulting the national anthem.
Justice BN Agrawal and GS Singhvi criticised Johar for not appearing before the Lucknow trial court that had issued summons to him in the case which related to his film in a case relating to his movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
The Allahabad high court had dismissed Johar's plea for quashing the case. He then approached the apex court seeking an early hearing of the case. "You have not been appearing before the trial court. In criminal cases, if summons are issued, you have to appear. It is for the magistrate to dispense with personal appearance," the bench observed.
