HC flags cop's attempt to produce ‘imposter' as complainant
MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court recently expressed concern over the conduct of a police officer, who attempted to deceive the court by presenting an impersonator as the original complainant in a case against Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. Bombay High Court (Anshuman Poyrekar/HT PHOTO) The company had approached the court challenging a notice received on June 30, from the Maharashtra cyber police, 'restraining the company from making objectionable or controversial statements'. A reference was made in the notice to a complaint received on June 12, against the TV serial Tum Se Tum Tak. However, when the petitioner tried to approach the purported complainant, Sunil Mahendra Sharma, they were informed by the security guard that no such person resided at the address. Following this, the court on July 8 directed the police officer concerned to produce the complainant before the bench, along with his Aadhar card, voter identity card, and proof of his permanent address. On the same day, the police inspector conveyed to the court that Sharma had been traced to a different address, which was not mentioned in the complaint dated June 12, and produced him before the court. When the complainant's identity documents were submitted, the court found several inconsistencies and noticed that they belonged to a certain Mahendra Sanjay Sharma, and not the complainant – Sunil Mahendra Sharma. To further verify his identity, the court directed him to affix his signature to a sheet of paper, to compare it with those on the documents. To the surprise of the court, the signatures did not match. An additional public prosecutor informed the court that Mahendra had approached the police officer and claimed he was the complainant, after which, he was brought to the court. The division bench of Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad, however, recorded the disturbing conduct of the police officer, observing that any attempt to hoodwink the court and produce an imposter before it, with the object to snatch an order based on misinformation or wrong information, cannot be countenanced. 'Even if the man claims to be the complainant, it clearly is a blatant lie considering the various documents on record. This case becomes more serious because this man tried to initially sign as Sunil Sharma,' the court observed. The court further highlighted that giving false evidence in any manner is to be dealt with legally, and directed the police officer to file an affidavit to provide his explanation. 'Any person who intentionally makes a false statement in a legal proceeding knowing or believes it to be false, is an offence,' the court clarified and posted the matter for further hearing to July 28.

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Q1 net profit rises 22 pc at Rs 143.7 cr
New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd on Tuesday reported a 22 per cent increase in consolidated net profit at Rs 143.7 crore in the first quarter ended June 30, 2025, on the back of improved network viewership, healthy performance of its digital segment and lower expenses. The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 118.1 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal. In the same period, an exceptional item outgo of Rs 28.5 crore was incurred, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) said in a regulatory filing. Consolidated total income in the first quarter stood at Rs 1,849.8 crore as against Rs 2,149.5 crore in the same period a year ago, it added. Total expenses in the first quarter were lower at Rs 1,652.7 crore as compared to Rs 1,941.1 crore in the corresponding period last fiscal, ZEEL said. In an investor presentation, the company said it maintained profitability despite macro-headwinds in the first quarter on the back of improved network viewership aided by language market performance along with continued healthy performance in the digital segment. It, however, said domestic advertising revenue declined by 19 per cent Y-o-Y for the quarter due to extended sports calendar, and slowdown in FMCG spending. 'Domestic advertising environment continues to be soft, healthy monsoon and festive pick-up augurs well for the near future," it noted. Increase in digital subscription revenue was offset by decline in linear subscription revenue due to fall in PayTV subscribers, ZEEL said.
