On Tuesday, a magistrate court in Mumbai cancelled a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued against NCP leader Nawab Malik in a defamation complaint filed against him by BJP worker Mohit Bharatiya in 2021.

The court has adjourned the matter to October 25 for the recording of evidence. Additional Metropolitan Magistrate S B Kale (Mazgaon court) in August had issued the non against Malik for failing to appear before the court.
