Judicial Magistrate Vijayshree Rathore cancelled the non-bailable warrant (NBW) after Ghosh appeared in court, subject to a fine of Rs 1,000, and posted the matter for further proceedings on November 21.

On Wednesday, the court stayed the NBW issued against her after Ghosh's counsel submitted that she could not appear on the last date of hearing due to "unavoidable circumstances".
