The obscenity case filed on the 2005 film ' Rog ' by Pooja Bhatt , ended up with favourable results and has delighted the filmmaker. The High Court quashed the case and has been a good relief for Pooja and her company Fish Eye Network Pvt Ltd. The case was filed by social activist Vinod Jain in 2005, that she had used posters of a barely clad South African model Elina Hamman, for promoting the film.
However, the lack of sufficient evidence led to dismissal of the case in July 2008.
The case was then reopened in January 2011 by the sessions court, following which Pooja Bhatt moved to the High Court.
She expressed her joy by tweeting, "Divine Justice - in the form of a high court hearing in my favour for an obscenity case against my film Rog . Fought this for 8 long years!"
She further expressed, "Had I chickened out and settled out of court as most people in entertainment are prone to do, it would have resulted in more such cases. Each one to their own in the film industry. But the ones who stick their necks out for the larger cause pave the road for the fence sitters."
