High Court reprieve for Suniel shetty, High court summons to Suniel Shetty


The Delhi High Court has granted 'absolute' stay on criminal proceedings against Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty in a case filed against him for allegedly threatening a stunt man four years ago.

The court admitted a plea filed by Puran Chauhan, a stunt man, who accused the actor of threatening him and not paying him any money for his services while shooting for the movie 'The Little God Father' in 2007.

While hearing Shetty's plea seeking quashing of the trial court's January 15, 2010, summons order following Chauhan's complaint case against him, Justice AK Pathak yesterday admitted the matter and said, "This court's interim order staying the criminal proceeding is made remain absolute." The prefix 'absolute' means the stay order will continue till the disposal of the case.

Justice Pathak passed the order after Chauhan refused the court's suggestion to opt for a compromise with Shetty.

According to Shetty, the litigation was initiated against him with an intention to extort money.
