“Amitabh Bachchan is not having a clean history as well as he is not serving the nation being a social worker,” the plea alleged while referring to several matters pending against him in various courts...remove the caller tune of Amitabh Bachchan of corona from the mobile in the interest of justice,” the plea read.

The bench has now listed the issue to be heard on January 18, 2021.
