FRIVOLOUS CASE AGAINST SANIA MIRZA DISMISSED

http://sports.indiatimes.com/Court_rejects_plea_against_Sania/articleshow/2840966.cms

Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissing the petition filed in a Bhopal court seeking registration of a case against tennis star Sania Mirza for allegedly disrespecting the national flag during a tournament in Australia is a welcome development. CJM Ajay Shrivastava, who had issued summons to Sania on January 7 directing her to appear in person for hearing on the petition accusing her of disrespecting the tricolour during the Hopman Cup tournament in Perth, should have known that the Centre's permission should be sought before registering any case as the incident had taken place in a foreign country.

In any case, having brought so many laurels to the country and adding India’s name to the tennis world honour rolls, she could not have done what she has been frivolously accused of. Hope the petitioner would have got the message!
