 The Andhra Pradesh High Court rejected filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's petition to dismiss a case registered against him in Prakasam district. The court advised Varma to file a bail petition if he feared arrest.

Varma’s advocates sought relief from arrest by approaching the High Court, which directed him to resolve procedural issues with the police.
