The petition is slated to come up for hearing before Justices V M Kanade and Anuja Prabhudessai on October 16.

The petition alleged that the police authorities and the Maharashtra Home Ministry had failed to register FIR against her despite complaints filed before them. 

Carrying of trident in a flight is prohibited under civil aviation rules and allowing a person to carry this on an aircraft amounts to an offence, said the PIL.
