During the hearing, the petitioner's counsel argued that the matter should not receive special treatment because it involved a well-known actor. The lawyer also pointed to the petitioner's role in exposing the Adarsh Housing Society scam. However, the Supreme Court clarified that its decision was based solely on legal merits and not on Shah Rukh Khan's public profile. The judges emphasized that celebrity status had no influence on the outcome.
