SC to hear Monica's petition on Nov 12

New Delhi, Oct 26 (UNI) The Supreme Court will hear on November 12 a petition filed by Monica Bedi, close associate of underworld don Abu Salem, to go outside Punjab to shoot for her films.

A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices R V Raveendran and V S Sirpurkar fixed the date of hearing after her petition was mentioned before the court by senior counsel K T S Tulsi for urgent hearing.

While granting bail to Monica Bedi the apex court had directed her not to move outside Punjab without prior permission of the court.

She was awarded five years imprisonment by the trial court which was reduced to three years by the Andhra Pradesh High Court against her appeal in a case of travelling on a forged passport. She had come in appeal in the Supreme Court against the High Court order.
