Additionally, the court instructed the “Pushpa” star not to change his residential address, without prior intimation to the court, till disposal of the case.
He was further asked not to leave the country without prior permission of the court.
Meanwhile, the SHO of Ramgopalpet Police Station served a notice to Arjun on his proposed plan to visit the hospital (to visit the boy undergoing treatment) on Sunday asking him to “reconsider” his decision, in view of heightened public interest in this matter, and to ensure minimal disruption to hospital operations and other patients.
If he still intends to visit the hospital, then the actor’s management was asked to coordinate with hospital authorities and the police to plan his entry and exit in such a way that minimizes inconvenience to the hospital inmates and the public, police said.
The police also advised him to maintain the confidentiality of his visit to “prevent any gathering of public/media at the premises” which could disturb the peaceful environs of the hospital.
However, the actor cancelled his visit to the hospital citing “advice” from his legal team, official sources said.
