Summons were issued to actor Mallika Sherawat by a court seeking her presence on April 20 in an obscenity case. Narendra Tiwari, the then president of Baroda Bar Association, had filed a complaint against Sherawat and the owners of J W Mariot Hotel, Mumbai, in January 2007 over an allegedly obscene performance on new year's eve program, seeking action under section 294 of Indian Penal Code. Tiwari told reporters that the court asked police to investigate, but police later submitted a report saying there was no case. Tiwari then moved sessions court.
