Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate J B Pankhe kept the matter for March 19 after the complainant M/S Popular Entertainment Network filed its reply on a police report, which probed allegations against the Roshans.
The court had earlier ordered police to investigate the allegations of cheating levelled by M/S Popular Entertainment Network against Hrithik, producer Rakesh Roshan, his maternal grandfather and filmmaker J Om Prakash.
Jayantilal Gada of M/S 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 its report on October 12 last year and the court had asked the complainant to file its say thereon.
The Bombay 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 its report, has said that the Roshans have not (not) committed any criminal violation of law and that the dispute between them and Popular Entertainment Network is of civil nature.
