Along with this, the Supreme Court has issued notice to the Maharashtra government on the petition. Earlier, the Supreme Court has also put an interim stay on the arrest of producer Raj Kundra and actress Poonam Pandey in the pornography case itself. A two-judge Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Vineet Saran and Aniruddha Bose issued a notice to the Maharashtra government on an appeal filed against the Bombay High Court order rejecting the anticipatory bail of Sherlyn Chopra. “Notice has been issued… In the meantime, no coercive action should be taken against the petitioner,” the bench said.

Advocate Sunil Fernandes, appearing for actress Sherlyn Chopra, had told that other accused in the case have also been given protection from arrest.
