The bench of Justice Sarang Kotwal and SM Modak has pronounced this order. The bench said that the petitioner will not be arrested in the case registered in Khar. The investigation of the case may continue. The investigating agency Kamra’s statement can be completed in Chennai with the help of local police.
Earlier on April 8, the Bombay High Court had heard his petition demanding the cancellation of the FIR lodged against Kamra. The High Court granted protection to Kunal by 16 April and issued a notice from all the government side and also sought a reply.
Kamra had demanded the cancellation of the FIR lodged against him on the basis of freedom of expression under Articles 19 and 21 of the Indian Constitution and the fundamental right to life.

In these three cases, complaints have been transferred to Khar police station in Mumbai under Zero FIR from various places in Maharashtra. This FIR was registered from Buldhana, Nashik and Thane districts and now they are being investigated by Khar police station in Mumbai.

The Khar police have interrogated many people associated with Habitat Studios and have recorded their statement. Other people associated with the case are being questioned.
