A Maharashtra court cancelled the non-bailable warrant issued against filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma in a case of copyright violation after he appeared before it Thursday. The court of Judicial Magistrate First Class Kailash Kurandre in Aurangabad adjourned the hearing in the case until September 20.

Varma sought exemption from appearance on the next hearing due to prior commitments. The court is yet to pass an order on his plea.
