Indore, Sep 01: A district court here has
"discharged" Bollywood actor Govinda, from a cheating case
filed against him and two others by a local financier.
Additional District Judge Manohar Mamtani discharged the
actor from the case on August 30, Govinda's advocate Dipesh
Joshi told a news agency here today.
The financer Suresh Garg had filed the complaint against
the actor, Prakash Jaju and a firm -- ad labs, claiming that
the trio had failed to return Rs 10 lakh taken from him for
producing a film "Dil Laga Ke Dekho" starring Govinda.
The court gave its decision on a revision petition filed
by Govinda's counsel against a lower court order directing
trial against them in the case, the counsel said.
However, when the trio failed to return the money after
the film was shelved, Garg filed a cheating case against the
actor and others, he said.
He said the actor had pleaded that since he had nothing
to do with the dealings between Garg and Jaju and ad labs, he
should be discharged from the case, which the court upheld and
discharged Govinda, the counsel said.
However, trial against others would continue.
