Bombay HC quashes con cases by actor’s wife

MUMBAI: The Bombay high court (HC) on Wednesday quashed two FIRs registered in Mumbai against actor Sahil Khan in 2015 on a complaint filed by

Ayesha Shroff

, wife of Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, over allegations of cheating and criminal intimidation.

A bench of Justices S S Shinde and N J Jamadar quashed the two FIRs after Khan's lawyer and Ayesha told the court on Wednesday that they had amicably settled the dispute between them.

Ayesha told HC that while she had also raised an issue of non-payment of Rs 4 crore dues by Khan in her complaint, she had decided not to pursue the claim or any other allegations made in the two FIRs.

The bench accepted statements of both and quashed the two FIRs, noting that the case seemed to have arisen out of a “business dispute”.
