A local Mumbai court has posted for final hearing on April 16 a complaint filed by a film distribution company alleging cheating committed by Hrithik Roshan , his father Rakesh Roshan and maternal grandfather J Om Prakash over sale of marketing rights of Hindi film Kaho Na Pyar Hai and other home productions.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate J.B. Pankhe kept the matter for April 16 after he recently took on record the reply, filed by complainant M/S 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 leveled by the Network.
Popular's Jayantilal Gada had filed six complaints against Hrithik and his family alleging that his firm had been cheated, after the Roshans 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 committed any criminal violation of law and that the dispute between them and popular entertainment network is of civil nature.
