Cheating case: HC relief for actor Nivin Pauly & director Abrid Shine
Kochi: High court has stayed further proceedings in a criminal case against Malayalam film actor Nivin Pauly and director Abrid Shine , accused of swindling Rs 1.90 crore from a film producer in connection with the making of the upcoming movie 'Action Hero Biju 2'. Justice V G Arun on Tuesday issued the interim stay on petitions filed by Pauly and Shine seeking to quash the cheating case registered at Thalayolaparambu police station in Vaikom on the basis of a private complaint by P S Shamnas, a co-producer of the movie. Police had booked the petitioners under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC, following a directive from the judicial first-class magistrate court, Vaikom. The petitioners contended that the magistrate ordered the registration of the case without considering an earlier police report, which concluded that the dispute was civil in nature. HC found merit in the petitioners' contention. Referring to the investigating officer's report — submitted pursuant to the magistrate's direction — which stated that the matter was civil in nature and that the complainant should pursue civil remedies, HC held that the magistrate could not have forwarded the complaint for investigation under Section 175(3) of the BNSS without addressing the report and conducting a further inquiry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 5 Books Warren Buffett Recommends You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The court, therefore, stayed the proceedings and adjourned the matter to Sept 11. According to the complaint, Shamnas invested Rs 1.90 crore in April for the production of the movies, but a budget dispute arose. The accused allegedly conspired to defraud him by selling the film's overseas rights for Rs 5 crore to another company, receiving Rs 2 crore in advance. The complaint adds that the parties had earlier collaborated on Pauly's previous film, 'Mahaveeryar', which was a financial failure, and Pauly had promised to pay Rs 95 lakh to Shamnas and agreed that he could be a co-producer in the new film. Shamnas further alleged that although the film's title was initially registered with Abrid Shine Productions, it was later transferred to his company, Indian Movie Makers. However, he claimed the accused concealed the title transfer and sold the overseas rights to another company. Meanwhile, Palarivattom police registered a case against Shamnas based on a petition filed by Pauly, alleging that Shamnas had obtained the title registration of the film using a forged letter purportedly issued on Pauly's behalf.
