On Tuesday, the Dindoshi sessions granted interim relief to actor Aditya Pancholi till July 19, in a rape case filed against him by a top Bollywood actress. Aditya's lawyer Prashant Patil confirmed the same and said, "The court has accepted our application of anticipatory bail and same has been granted."

While arguing before the court, Pancholi's lawyer mentioned as to why the actress was quite on the issue for almost 15 years? and the FIR was registered day after she was summoned by a magistrate court in a criminal defamation case, thus there is no base in the case of the prosecution, and the case has been filed with malafide intentions.
