Goa, March 28 -- Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has approached the Madras High Court seeking transit anticipatory bail after multiple FIRs were filed against him for allegedly making objectionable remarks about Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister. Kamra's legal team presented the matter before Justice Sunder Mohan, who permitted it to be heard as a lunch motion on Friday.
