As case diary could not be produced on the same day, the court fixed Monday as the date for bail hearing.
On October 10, 2019, a complaint was lodged by Congress worker Charmesh Sharma against Rohatgi for posting an objectionable video on Nehru and his family on the Facebook and Twitter.
Police lodged a case against her under section 504, 505(2) of the IPC and started investigation.
According to senior lawyers, she can be awarded a two year imprisonment or penalty if convicted. As it is a non-bailable offence, bail cannot be granted by the police, they said.
