Gere also sought a stay on the order of a Mundawar court in Rajasthan which directed him not to leave the country in a similar case registered there.

The matter was mentioned by Gere's counsel before a Bench headed by the Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan for an early hearing but the court directed the registry to list the matter for hearing after two weeks.

Hollywood actor in his application said that he was being harassed and victimised by way of a private criminal complaints filed against him in Jaipur and Mundawar in Rajasthan, which were nothing but bids to attract media attention.

Jaipur local court, on April 26 last, had issued arrest warrants to Gere and Shetty after a citizen filed a complaint accusing the couple of committing an ‘obscene act’.
