Special Court Judge Vishweshwari Mishra issued notices during the hearing of a petition filed by advocate Amit Kumar Sahu.

A petition was filed in 2021 after no action was taken on the complaint he filed at the Adhartal police station, claimed Sahu.

"Later, I filed complaint with the Superintendent of Police and then moved the high court. The next hearing of the case will be on November 5. My main objection is that India got independence after the sacrifice of many freedom fighters but Kangana said it was 'bheekh' (alms). She claimed India got freedom in the true sense after 2014," he said.
