She had told the court that her client Rana Ayyub was asked by a special court in Ghaziabad to appear on December 27, 2022. She had asked the apex court to stop this. The Supreme Court had stayed the appearance of Rana Ayyub till the order was given, but now if the petition is dismissed, Rana Ayyub will have to appear in the special court of Ghaziabad.
