On Tuesday, Bombay High Court refused to grant interim relief to actors Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor on an FIR filed against them and other celebrities for allegedly using obscene language during AIB Knockout in Mumbai.  A bench of justices R M Savant and Sarang Kotwal directed the actors' lawyer to first serve a copy of their plea to one of the complainants in the case, activist Santosh Dundkar.

The actors had urged the court to direct, by way of an interim relief, the Pune and Mumbai police to refrain from taking any coercive action against them. The bench, however, said it will consider the prayer only after the complainant was provided a copy of the petition, and scheduled the matter for further hearing on April 3.

Karan Johar who was also part of the event feels that he is to be blamed for their legal woes. According to BollywoodHungama report, the filmmaker didn't know realise that the show would backfire so badly. According to the entertainment portal, he has been telling his close friends that he feels responsible for the two actors and will stand by them and extend all kinds of legal support to help them come out of it. Karan who has worked with Arjun Kapoor and '2 States' and is producing Ranveer Singh's upcoming film, 'Simmba' is determined to help them come out of the situation. 

On December 20, 2014, Singh and Kapoor, along with 10 other celebrities, including Karan Johar, Deepika Padukone, and members of the AIB team, had performed at a charity event in Worli area in Mumbai. The video of the event was uploaded on YouTube a year later and it went viral.

In February 2015, Dundkar filed a complaint with the chief metropolitan magistrate of Girgaon court, alleging that the show was "vulgar, obscene...pornographic." The court then ordered that an FIR be registered against all the 10 people. Soon after, another FIR was registered against all 10 of them in Pune following a complaint by a local alleging obscenity during the event.
