Court’s suggestion- resolve the matter through mutual agreement
During the hearing, the Supreme Court has also given an important suggestion. The court has asked both the parties to go to the mediation cell. The court believes that both the parties should be present there and try to resolve the matter through mutual agreement.
Vikram Bhatt’s wife Shwetambari had got interim bail on February 13 itself, after which she has come out of jail.
The court said- this is a commercial dispute
Vikram Bhatt’s lawyer Kamlesh Dave presented his argument in the court. During the hearing, the court remarked that this is a kind of commercial dispute.
The court also made it clear that it should not be unnecessarily forced to transfer the case to Mumbai court.
The judge argued that most of the vendors and people associated with this film and project are residents of Mumbai. In such a situation, understanding the legal nuances of the case, the court accepted the bail application.
Udaipur Police had arrested and brought him from Mumbai.
On December 7, a 6-member team of Udaipur DSP Chhagan Rajpurohit reached Mumbai and arrested Vikram Bhatt and his wife from their flat in Ganga Bhawan Complex in Juhu.
Here Bhatt’s security guards also stopped the police. The security guards had told the police that the gentleman and his wife were not at home. However, the police knew the truth and both were arrested.
