His lawyers objected to the accused person being charged when he appeared in court on Monday for a ruling in his other criminal case saying that the defense was unaware of the new charge against their client.
The lawyers termed the charges as malicious and intended to embarrass their client.
Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi heard that the charge sheet was drafted and released to the press without knowledge of the accused person.
Galot’s nephews, Pravin and Rajesh Galot, who are the complaints in his other case and are witnesses in the intended case also want to be enjoined.

The Magistrate deferred the plea to 6th march 2018 to enable counsels take proper instructions.
