A local court started dictating order on a complaint filed by a film distribution company alleging cheating by actor Hrithik Roshan, his father Rakesh Roshan and maternal
grandfather J Omprakash over sale of marketing rights of Hindi film Kaho Na Pyar Hai and their other home productions.
Additional chief metropolitan magistrate J B Pankhe would conclude the order on August 17, Hrithik's advocate Dipesh Mehta told PTI.
The court had recently taken on record the reply filed by complainant Popular Entertainment Network, on a police report, which probed allegations against the Roshans,
Mehta said.
The court had earlier ordered police to investigate the allegations of cheating levelled by Popular Entertainment Network against Hrithik, Rakesh Roshan and J Omprakash.
Popular's Jayantilal Gada had filed six complaints against Hrithik and his family alleging that his firm had been cheated by the Roshans, who had backed out of their
agreement with the film distribution company and for various other matters.
Police submitted its report on October 12 last year and the court had asked the complainant to file its reply thereon.
According to Mehta, the police, in its report, had said that the Roshans had not committed any criminal violation of law and that the dispute between them and Popular
Entertainment Network is of civil nature.
