Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty's case reopens after court intervention

Since 2022, Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty have been facing a legal ordeal following a criminal complaint lodged against them. The complaint, alleging non-payment of Rs 90 lakhs, underwent a thorough police investigation, which concluded that the amount had been legitimately disbursed.

Upon presenting documented evidence to the police, Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty received a favorable outcome in their favor. Subsequently, the complainant opted to file a private complaint under sec 156(3) CrPC, leading the Honorable Court to order a fresh investigation nearly two years later.

Talking about the same, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s Lawyer- Advocate Prashant Patil said,

"The complainant had a moved a criminal complaint against my clients Raj Kundra and Shilpa shetty in year of 2022 . This complaint was thoroughly investigated by the police in the year of 2022 by adopting the due process of law. After thorough investigation it was found that the complainant had infact received the entire alleged amount of Rupees 90 lacs through legitimate means of payment.  My clients bonafidely submitted these documents to the police department. After finding out the truth of the matter , the police delivered justice to my clients. Post this enquiry , the complainant opted to file a private complaint under sec 156(3) CrPC before the Honourable Court . "

He further continued saying, 

"After a passage of almost 2 years , the Honourable Court has directed the police to investigate the case again . We have complete faith in the independence and fairness of the investigation. The truth shall prevail. My clients have not committed any offence and it has been established through documents in possession of my clients . The invoice between the Compainant and my clients , clearly reflect that there is an Arbritation clause in the said contract. If the complainant has any grievance about the alleged “interest amount “ the clause of Arbritation can certainly be invoked. However , the act of initiating criminal proceedings for settling commercial disputes has been deprecated by plethora of judgements of Honourable Supreme Court and various Honourable High Courts of our country . My clients shall fight this battle legally and shall cooperate with the investigation agencies. My clients reserve their right to sue the complainant for malicious proceedings , at the right stage of the proceedings.

With confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the renewed investigation, Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty believe that the truth will ultimately prevail.
