AIB Roast case: HC asks police not to file chargesheet

The Bombay high court on Wednesday asked the city police not to file chargesheet against film-maker Karan Johar, actors Deepika Padukone, Ranvir Singh and others facing a criminal case for allegedly using obscene language on the AIB Roast show.

The police shall not file chargesheet unless the court hears the petitions challenging the FIR in the case, a Bench of Justices Ranjit More and VL Achilya said. 

Padukone and others have filed petitions in the High Court, seeking quashing of the FIR registered by the Tardeo Police. 

The High Court has said that it would commence final hearing of matter on February 9 and till then chargesheet should not be filed.
