Justices K M Joseph and B V Nagarathna’s bench issued a similar directive to all of the accused on Tuesday. “Having heard the counsel for the parties, we are of the view that the petitioners may be granted anticipatory bail,” the bench said.

Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey were included as co-accused in the FIR.

Even though the performers, who were designated as co-accused, had given their full approval to shoot the movies, his attorneys argued that he was in no way related to the content creation, publication, or transmission of the allegedly illegal recordings.

Raj has maintained a low profile ever since getting his bail and only occasionally shows up in public while wearing a complete face mask. He responded to the situation with a rare social media post in September. Raj published a photo of himself with the comment, “One Year Today released from #ArthurRoad Its a matter of time Justice will be served! The truth will be out soon! Thank you well-wishers and a bigger thank you to the trollers you make me stronger (folded hands emoji).”
