HC junks film financier’s suit against Rajinikanth
The Madras High Court on Tuesday dismissed a suit filed by a film financier against top actor Rajinikanth with a cost of Rs 25,000, saying it was nothing but an abuse of the process of law to gain cheap publicity and keep a famous person on the tenterhooks
Chennai: The Madras High Court on Tuesday dismissed a suit filed by a film financier against top actor Rajinikanth with a cost of Rs 25,000, saying it was nothing but an abuse of the process of law to gain cheap publicity and keep a famous person on the tenterhooks.
"If such plaints are not thrown out at the initial stage, it will give a licence to people like the plaintiff to approach the court often even to get cheap publicity," Justice N Sathish Kumar said in his order.
He directed the plaintiff, Mukunchand Bothra, to pay the cost of Rs 25,000 to the actor.
The financier had alleged that Kasturi Raja, the father-in-law of Rajinikanth's daughter, had borrowed Rs 65 lakh from him with an assurance that if the money was not repaid by him, the actor would repay it.
The financier had already filed a petition in a lower court against Raja for dishonouring the cheques issued by him.
