Chennai, Oct 10: A city court has sentenced actor-director Manivannan to one year simple imprisonment in a cheque bounce case, but gave him 30 days to appeal against his conviction in a higher court. According to complainant, a finance company Asian Capital Finance, Manivannan had obtained a loan of Rs 35 lakh from the firm. A cheque given by the accused in 2001 for Rs five lakh was, however, dishonoured by the bank for want of funds. Metropolitan Magistrate Ravindra Bose, who found Manivannan guilty of the charge yesterday, also slapped the actor-director with a fine of Rs 5,000. Bureau Report
