The charge-sheet was submitted to the Judicial First Class Magistrate two months ago and the case was posted to August 9 as the High Court had issued a stay order for two months.

The Museum police had registered a case against the legislator and his personal assistant. Manu later got admitted to the general hospital and sought treatment for injuries on his face.
