Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma Gets 3 Months Jail In Cheque Bounce Case, Non-Bailable Warrant Issued
Judicial Magistrate (First Class) in Andheri, YP Pujari, had convicted Ram Gopal Varma for the offence punishable under the provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act on Tuesday, January 21.
Apart from a jail sentence, Ram Gopal Varma has also been ordered to pay ₹3.72 lakh in compensation to the complainant. The filmmaker has been directed to pay the amount within three months. If Ram Gopal Varma fails to pay ₹3.72 lakh to the complainant, he will have to face an additional three months of imprisonment.
The court found Ram Gopal Varma guilty under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act which 'penalises cheque dishonour due to insufficient funds or exceeding the account's arranged amount'.
Reacting to his sentencing and a non-bailable warrant against him, Ram Gopal Varma said,“With regard to the news about me and Andheri court, I want to clarify that it is to do with a 7-year-old case of ₹2.38 lakhs relating to an ex-employee.”
“It is not about settling the meagre ₹2.4 lakhs but is about refusing to be exploited in the attempts to fabricate. That's all I can say for now as it's in court,” he said.
THE CHEQUE BOUNCE CASEThe case dates back to 2018 when Shree, a company representated by one Maheshchandra Mishra, alleged that a cheque issued by Ram Gopal Varma's firm bounced. The filmmaker was granted bail in April 2022 on a personal bond and a security of ₹5,000. Legal Disclaimer:
