Flashback 2014: Cases Against Film Stars, Pils Dominated Legal Scene In Maharashtra


The superstar's wife Gauri had used Rs 1.65 crore of the loaned amount to buy a house in Delhi and Rs 63 lakh for jewellery. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) had ordered adding the amount to Shah Rukh's net wealth for Assessment Year 2005-06 on ground that it amounted to transfer of assets. A civil suit was filed against Aamir and producer and director of his film "PK" challenging the semi-nude poster of the actor saying it displayed vulgarity.

The court ruled in December that it had the jurisdiction to hear the suit. In the matrimonial dispute, Mookhey and her estranged husband Prince Tuli were granted divorce as a result of mutual consent by a family court. Later, the Bombay High Court quashed the FIR registered against Tuli at Yukta's instance.

The court also asked police to hand over personal belongings of the estranged couple, collected as evidence, to the respective parties following their amicable settlement. Ahuja filed an appeal in the high court against his conviction and sentence in a rape case but the court refused to expedite the hearing observing older cases were pending and the actor was already out on bail.

In 2009, Ahuja was sentenced to seven years rigorous imprisonment for raping his domestic help. Hearing a PIL against extension of parole granted to actor Sanjay Dutt, convicted in the 1993 bomb blast case, the high court pulled up the state government for showing "extra diligence" in the matter and discriminating between him and other convicts.
