California, Dec 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Roman Polanski won the right to be under house arrest after a long time. And now, he is facing some more missiles from the court, as a Californian court has rejected Roman Polanski’s bid to have his case dismissed. The California 2nd District Court of Appeal announced Monday it had denied the petition.

The court’s Web site states that three justices agreed to reject Polanski’s appeal. Earlier the attorneys for the noted director Roman Polanski had argued that misconduct in the case was grounds for dismissal of a charge of having unlawful sex with a minor.

Meanwhile since the filmmaker Roman Polanski is under house arrest, so he is making up for the lost time. As he is not letting his courtroom troubles interrupt the editing of his latest flick The Ghost Writer. He is undertaking the post-production work on his movie, even while he is under house arrest in Switzerland.

“It’s in fact very impressive. He is in the process of finishing at a distance the editing of his next film, which I understand will be in the official selection at the next Berlin Festival,” Contactmusic quoted Polanki’s friend, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy as telling the Lausanne-based weekly Le Matin Dimanche.

It may be recalled that the noted director and filmmaker Roman Polanski had been granted bail in late November, from the Swiss Jail where he is lodged in connection with the rape case that he did decades ago in the US. The bail for him has reportedly been set at 3m Euros (£2.7m; $4.5m) for the film director.

Roman Polanski has been wanted by the US since 1978, as he committed a sex offense with an under-age girl, and then when the situation got too hot for him to handle, he fled from the country and didn’t go back.

Then some months ago he was going to Zurich from France to collect an award at the city’s film festival in September. And he was arrested at the airport. Since then he has been unsuccessfully trying to get bail or to be freed, but it has been rejected till now.
