In fact, on March 3, the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court of Lucknow had imposed a fine of 200 on Rahul for continuously missing the hearing. It was warned that he should appear in court on April 14, if he does not appear on this date also, strict legal action can be taken. A non-bailable warrant can also be issued.
