Supreme Court Rejects Khanna Relationship Plea

The Supreme Court declined to hear Anita Advani's challenge regarding her relationship with the late actor Rajesh Khanna. This decision leaves intact previous findings that her relationship was not equivalent to marriage. The court referred to Advani's plea as 'luxury litigation' and rejected her challenge to an April 1 Bombay High Court order.

Advani had claimed a long-term live-in relationship with Khanna until her eviction from his Mumbai bungalow in 2012. She had previously filed a civil suit and a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act seeking maintenance and property. However, the Bombay High Court had quashed her complaint in 2015, ruling that her relationship was not in the nature of marriage and that family members could not be included in proceedings.
