The Karnataka High Court has indicated that it will dispose of the plea filed by actor Ranveer Singh seeking to quash an FIR against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.
On Saturday, a bench of Justice M Nagaprasanna said the court would dispose of the plea after considering the objections raised regarding the apology.
An FIR had been registered against Ranveer for allegedly insulting 'Chavunda Daiva', a deity from Dakshina Kannada district, during an act at last year's International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.
Ranveer had later submitted an apology and moved the court to quash the FIR.
He has been given four weeks to visit the Chamundi Hill temple to pay respects as part of his apology.
The controversy began last year when Ranveer Singh praised Kannada actor-director Rishab Shetty for his performance as the Chavundi Daiva in Kantara Chapter 1, mimicking Rishab's face from the film.
The act received its fair share of online criticism for being tone-deaf and insensitive.
