Muzaffarnagar, April 05: A local court today fixed April 28 as the date of hearing into the National Anthem disgrace case against Ace Indian Tennis player Sania Mirza. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Vinod Kumar could not hear the case today, owing to the District Bar Council election.
Altogether four cases were registered against Sania in relation to this issue in November 2008. The local court had fixed separate hearing dates for the cases.
The hearing of the first case was slated for today, while the second, third and the fourth were to be heard on April 21, April 22 and May 18 respectively.
The player’s counsel Ravindra Chaudhary told that a case under the ‘Prevention of Insult to National Honour Act’ was lodged against Sania after she stood in a wrong posture during the National Anthem during an international-level Tennis competition in November 2008.
Sania is already hitting the news for her controversial marriage with Pakistan cricket player
Shoaib Malik this month.
