BREAKING NOW: Non-Bailable Warrant Issued Against Sanjay Dutt

Last year Sanjay Dutt was a free man when he completed his sentence of three-and-half years in the 1993 Mumbai blast case but judging by the recent development it only seems that his problems are far from over.

A Mumbai court today issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt in a cheque bounce case that dates back to the year 2002. The non-bailable warrant was issued by Andheri court. The said court issued the warrant, as Sanjay Dutt was not present in any hearing of the court. The case relates to a cheating case that was filed by film producer Shakeel Noorani against Sanjay Dutt.

Reportedly, the case is that of the shooting of one of Noorani's films, for which Sanjay had apparently charged Rs 50 lakh as fee but did not complete the film. Buzz is, Dutt turned up for the shoot only for two days.

Before filing the court case, Shakeel Noorani had approached the doors of Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association and the verdict went in favour of Noorani when Sanjay was asked to pay around 2 Cr as compensation to Noorani because of the incomplete movie. Later, Sanjay Dutt refused to obey the order passed by IMPPA, in the wake of which Noorani moved the Bombay High Court to get the IMPPA order executed. The High Court had then ordered attachment of two of Sanjay Dutt’s properties in Mumbai.  Soon after Shakeel Noorani again complained of getting threatening calls from the underworld. It is said that Sanjay Dutt had allegedly complained to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim about Shakeel Noorani over telephone.

Meanwhile a statement was issued by Sanjay Dutt’s spokesperson. The statement said, “This case has been going on since a long time and the present situation has arisen because of the communication lapse between our lawyers and us. We respect the urgency shown by the honourable court regarding our attendance/representation and we would take immediate measure to rectify the situation.”
