Overview

• Malaika Arora has been warned that a non-bailable warrant will be issued if she fails to appear at the next court hearing on July 9, 2025.
• The warning follows Arora's absence from the April 29 hearing, despite prior summons and bailable warrants issued in February and April.
• The case stems from a 2012 altercation at Mumbai's Taj Hotel, where Saif Ali Khan is accused of assaulting businessman Iqbal Mir Sharma, causing a nasal fracture.
• Arora, a key witness present at the hotel during the incident, has yet to testify, while other witnesses, including Amrita Arora, have already provided statements.
• Khan and two co-accused remain charge-sheeted under IPC Section 325 for causing grievous hurt, with conflicting accounts of provocation and assault central to the trial.
