In Case Against Sunny Leone, Kerala High Court Stays Further Proceedings
The Kerala High Court on Wednesday halted further action in the breach of contract case brought by the Crime Branch division of the state police against Bollywood actor Sunny Leone and two others. Justice Ziyad Rahman put a hold on the proceedings while he considered the actor’s request to overturn the Crime Branch’s FIR against her for allegedly breaking the conditions of a contract for a theatrical performance in Kozhikode four years prior.
The star has denied the accusations made against her, her husband, and their employee in her plea, arguing that they do not fit the description of the accused offences. She has stated that they have not yet been involved in any criminal activity.
She claimed that by forcing them to go through a protracted legal process even though there was no solid or convincing evidence against them, they were subjected to unimaginable suffering and catastrophic loss.
Shiyas Kunjumohammed, the program’s coordinator from the Ernakulam district, filed a complaint, prompting the Crime Branch to open an investigation.
Ms. Leone and others allegedly broke the terms of the contract despite receiving 39 lakhs for performing stage shows in Kerala and abroad, according to Mr. Kunjumohammed’s complaint.
