A local Mumbai court has deferred till December 9 a complaint filed by a film distribution company alleging cheating committed by Hrithik Roshan , his father Rakesh Roshan and maternal grandfather J Omprakash.
The case was over sale of marketing rights of Kaho Na Pyar Hai and their home productions.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate J B Pankhe Wednesday accepted an affidavit filed by the complainant, Popular Entertainment Network, on a police report, which probed allegations against the Roshans.
The court had earlier ordered police to investigate the allegations of cheating levelled by Popular Entertainment Network against Hrithik, producer Rakesh Roshan and film maker J Omprakash.
Jayantilal Gada of Popular Entertainment Network had filed six complaints against Hrithik and his family alleging that his firm had been cheated by the Roshans who had backed out of their agreement with the film distribution company and for various other matters.
Police submitted their report on October 12 and the court asked the complainant to file its say thereon.
The High Court had earlier stayed the arrest of the Roshans and referred the matter to the lower court.
According to Hrithik’s lawyer Dipesh Mehta, the police, in their report, stated that the Roshans had not committed any criminal violation of law and that the dispute between them and Popular Entertainment Network was of civil nature.
