Sania Mirza has got a relief from the High Court of Madhya Pradesh, which took suo moto cognizance of the controversy after a person filed a complaint in lower court against tennis star.The MP High Court at Jabalpur directed the lower court to stop hearing the case. Earlier one, Prakash Thakur, had approached the district court and filed the case. He showed the photograph of Sania Mirza published in newspapers, to prove that she had her feet pointed in the direction of national flag.
The court had even accepted the petition and taken the case and registered it under the National Honour Act. Thhe date of next hearing was fixed. But High Court took cognisance and Chief Justice asked single-judge bench of Rakesh Saxena to look into the matter.
The court was apparently concerned over the complaints by persons whose aim is to seek publicity for themselves by dragging superstars in the courts.
The local court had earlier asked Sania to present herself in the court of CJM Ajay Shrivastava. But after CJI AK Patnaik's directions the records of case were called to Jabalpur and the single judge bench stopped the lower court from hearing the case.
Owing to such cases Sania Mirza had said that she briefly considered quitting the game due to these controversies. It is said that the photograph was a camera trick. Sania can now concentrate on her game, thans to Court that came to her rescue.
