Case on actor Dilip Kumar stayed


By S A Ishaqui


Hyderabad, Jan. 20: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday stayed criminal proceedings against veteran actor Dilip Kumar in a cheque bounce case.

The city-based Deccan Cements Limited and DCL Polyesters filed criminal cases in Nampally Court complaining that the cheques for Rs 1.50 crore and Rs 50 lakh issued by Geekay Exim (India) Limited to repay an inter-corporate deposit bounced in 1998.

The petitioner companies named Dilip Kumar as one of the key accused since he was the chairman of Geekay Exim when the cheques were issued. The court issued a non-bailable warrant against him in 2006. Dilip Kumar filed a petition in the High Court to quash the proceedings. While granting the stay, the court issued notices to the Deccan Cements and DCL Polyesters.
