Actor's Plea for Bail Fizzles Amidst Court's Frustration
3 Apr
Summary
- Court expresses dissatisfaction with actor's inconsistent statements.
- Complainant company agreed to a reduced settlement of ₹6 crore.
- Judge cautions against misinterpreting judicial niceties as weakness.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma voiced significant displeasure with the actor's inconsistent statements regarding the repayment of dues. The court's attempts to facilitate a settlement were unsuccessful, as the actor opposed a proposal from the complainant company to accept ₹6 crore. The actor argued he had already suffered financial losses and was compelled to sell properties.
The court proposed a structured payment of ₹3 crore, but no agreement was reached. Justice Sharma issued a stern warning against misinterpreting judicial leniency as weakness, emphasizing that valuable court time was being consumed. The actor was previously granted interim bail on February 16, subject to depositing ₹1.5 crore, which he fulfilled.
