On March 28, Justice Sunder Mohan granted him interim anticipatory bail till April 7 (today).

Today, the judge asked if notice was served to the jurisdictional police in Mumbai. Kamra's counsel, Advocate V Suresh, assured that notice has been served.

Suresh added that the hostility against Kamra over his comments has continued and that three more first information reports (FIRs) have been filed against him since the last hearing.

He added that even Kamra's parents have not been spared.

"They have gone to his house and disturbed his aged parents. They have taken names of people who attended show and sought details already available (online)," Kamra's counsel argued.

The judge eventually decided to adjourn the matter till April 17 and sought confirmation that notice has been served on the jurisdictional police in Mumbai. The Registry was asked to reflect this aspect in the cause list.
