SC stays criminal proceedings against Bhandarkar
CNN-IBN | 09-Apr 14:13 PM
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday put an interim stay on criminal proceedings against film producer Madhur Bhandarkar in the Preeti Jain rape case.
In July 2004, aspiring actor Preeti Jain had lodged a complaint alleging that Bhandarkar had raped her several times between 1999 and 2004 under the pretext of marrying her and casting her as actress in his movies.
A Mumbai metropolitan court had, in September, 2011, found substance in Jain's complaint, and issued process against Bhandarkar, directing him to face the trial.
However, the magistrate's court had, in November, 2011, granted anticipatory bail to the Bollywood filmmaker in the case.
