Malaika Arora has received a bailable warrant for the brawl case involving actor Saif Ali Khan and two others. Malaika was summoned due to the 2012 hotel case but did not appear. The legal proceedings have continued for years, and the case has once again come into focus with a recent development. The court issued a bailable warrant against Malaika on March 15, 2025. The warrant was issued to her sister Amrita Arora as well, after they failed to appear at court. However, Amrita deposed as a witness on March 29, 2025.
A bailable warrant is a legal document that allows for the arrest of an individual, but with the provision that the person can be released upon posting bail. This means that while the arrest order is enforced, the individual can avoid detention by providing a financial surety, ensuring their return to court for future hearings. The bailable nature of the warrant suggests that Malaika Arora’s arrest is not imminent unless she fails to comply with further court orders or fails to appear in the upcoming proceedings.
As she was absent from the proceedings, the court reissued a bailable warrant of Rs 5000. Also, the warrant report should be submitted by April 29, 2025.
