The court's notice seeks a response from Revanna as it considers the matter further.
Part of the Judicial Process

The notice should not be interpreted as an indication of guilt or innocence.

The matter has attracted significant public and political attention, with investigations and related legal proceedings continuing through the appropriate authorities.
Legal Position
At this stage:
The allegations have not been finally adjudicated by the courts.

Any determination of criminal liability will depend on the outcome of the judicial process.
All parties retain their legal rights under the law.
