Mumbai,
Apr
25:

The
Bombay
High
Court
on
Monday
dismissed
the
writ
petition
filed
by
independent
MP
Navneet
and
her
MLA
husband
Ravi
Rana,
arrested
in
connection
with
the
Hanuman
Chalisa
controversy,
seeking
quashing
of
an
FIR
registered
against
them.

The
couple
had
approached
the
HC
this
morning
seeking
that
the
FIR
registered
against
them
by
the
Khar
police
in
the
city
on
the
charge
of
deterring
a
police
officer
from
discharging
her
official
duties
be
quashed.

A
bench
of
Justices
PB
Varale
and
SM
Modak,
however,
said
that
it
found
no
merit
in
the
plea.

The
Khar
police
registered
two
FIRs
against
the
couple
after
they
announced
that
Hanuman
Chalisa
will
be
recited
outside
Maharashtra
chief
minister
Uddhav
Thackeray’s
private
residence
in
Mumbai.
