Shiv Sena MLA Appears in Court After 2009 Protest Case
Imagine some people were in trouble a long time ago for protesting.
They were supposed to go to court but didn't show up.
The court got upset and made them come.
On Monday, the people finally went to court.
Because they promised to show up in the future, the judge let them go if they promised to pay some money if they missed a court date.
The court is still deciding what will happen in the case, and their lawyer mentioned the government might want to drop the case.
Shiv Sena MLA Tukaram Kate and seven others were arrested for not appearing in court.
A non-bailable warrant was issued for their absence in a 2009 protest case.
The accused appeared in court and were granted bail.
They were booked for vandalizing an office and other charges.
