The Mumbai High Court on Monday restrained police from arresting actor Hrithik Roshan and producer Rakesh Roshan in a case of alleged cheating and criminal breach of trust registered against them by a film marketing company. Hearing a petition filed by Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan, Justice V M Kanade restrained Khar police station from arresting the father-son duo till August 5 and adjourned the matter for further hearing.
The petition urged the high court to quash the criminal proceedings launched against them in a magistrate's court on the basis of a complaint filed by Jayantilal Gada, managing director of Popular Entertainment Network Ltd. It urged the court to restrain Khar police from arresting them. It also sought quashing of an order delivered by the magistrate in Bandra in May directing police to investigate the complaint of alleged cheating and criminal breach of trust registered against Hrithik and his father. According to the complaint filed by Gada, Roshans had entered into a contract with his company, which gave it film and TV merchandising rights for Hrithik's first film 'Kaho Na Pyar Hai', besides all forthcoming home production films. However, Roshans and their company, Film Kraft Productions (India) Pvt Ltd, did not honour the contract.
