Overview
- A Moradabad court issued the warrant after the actress allegedly skipped multiple summons, and police can be directed to produce her if she fails to attend the March 27 hearing.
- The complaint by organiser Pawan Verma claims Patel was booked for a November 16, 2017 wedding, received an advance of about ₹14.50 lakh, returned ₹10 lakh in cash, and a ₹4.50 lakh refund cheque later bounced.
- Patel publicly called the case very old and already settled, saying Verma signed a settlement deed and received the full agreed amount, and that her lawyers will initiate cheating proceedings against him.
- Her counsel Abhishek Sharma reiterated that the dues were repaid under a settlement, while the complainant’s side maintains the case remains active and alleges she avoided court appearances.
- Local reports note she previously secured bail in the matter and was later accused of not complying with conditions, and the dispute’s revival comes as cheque-bounce cases involving film figures draw wider scrutiny.
