Pornography case: Relief for Raj Kundra; gets four-week protection from arrest

FollowShilpa Shetty’s husband, businessman Raj Kundra has got a big relief from the Supreme Court on Wednesday in the pornography case. According to the reports, the apex court has given Raj Kundra a protection of four weeks from the arrest in the pornography case against him. Along with this, the court has also issued a notice to the Maharashtra government and has sought its response.
Last month on November 25, the Bombay High Court had rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Raj Kundra, who has been made an accused in the infamous pornography case. The Mumbai-based businessman had appeared before the Supreme Court against his arrest after Bombay High Court's Justice Nitin Sambre dismissed his plea and have him four weeks’ time to approach the apex court.
Raj Kundra, in his defence, had told the single-bench court of Justice Sambre that those videos made by his production company were erotic in nature, but should not be considered as porn since they did not show any sexual or physical. Raj Kundra further told the court that he was falsely being implicated in the case and that he was not involved in the broadcasting or making of these videos. However, the court did not accept his argument and dismissed the plea.
