In the Magisterial court order, the metropolitan magistrate, Ketaki Chavan had discharged the actress mentioning that the charges against her were groundless and she was a victim of alleged acts of accused No. 1 (Gere). However, the MRA Marg police were of the opinion that the actress allowed herself to be kissed in the public space, and thus, it was an obscene act. However, the actress also responded by mentioning that she would file a separate proceeding against the complainant for initiating a false case.

There were also nationwide protests against Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere's actions in the public forum. Later, in November 2011, the Supreme Court transferred the case to the metropolitan magistrate court at Ballard Estate in Mumbai after Shilpa filed a plea about the same. Following this, in February 2017, the actress also applied for discharge, mentioning that the allegations against her were based on why she didn't protest the American actor showing affection to her at the public forum. However, in her opinion, she mentioned that this would not have lessened her role as a co-conspirator in the alleged crimes.
