The next hearing of the case will be held on November 23 .

Speaking to media persons after she was brought out from the Court, Sharmila said that she was happy to see a large number of people from various organizations coming to the Court complex to show solidarity and support to her struggle.

She also expressed her gratitude to the group of Zeliangrong womenfolk who came to the Court complex in support of her and presented their traditional shawl to her.

Sharmila also said that one person had mentioned to her that she will succeed when all the sections, both from the hills and valley, extend support to her struggle.

It may be mentioned that during her last Court appearance, Sharmila had expressed dissatisfaction that not a single person turned up to show support to her.
