Mumbai - The Bombay High Court has ordered attachment of two
properties of film actor Sanjay Dutt in keeping with an arbitration
award passed by the Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association in
January this year on a financial dispute between him and producer
Shakeel Noorani.
Noorani has claimed Rs 2.03 crore from the actor which includes Rs 50
lakh paid to him as signing amount for an under-production film 'Jaan
Ki Baazi'.
In case of financial disputes of this nature, there is an agreement
between Cine Artists Association and IMPPA which provides for
arbitration. The agreement empowers IMPPA to act as an arbitrator and
pass an award.
IMPPA applied for execution of a decree recently and the execution
department of the High Court issued warrant under Civil Procedure
Code against Sanjay last week, following which bailiff of Sheriff's
court today pasted notices of attachment of properties on the
premises of the actor, Noorani's lawyer Ashok Sarogi told reporters.
Sarogi said the actor has an option to pay the money claimed by the
producer within 30 days or else his properties (residence and office)
would be auctioned. He can challenge this order in High Court. So
far, Sanjay has not challenged IMPPA's arbitration order and hence
notices of attachment of properties were pasted on his premises, the
lawyer said.
Sanjay's lawyer Satish Maneshinde told PTI that "we will have a look
at the decree execution order of the High Court and also the IMPPA
award and then decide on appropriate action to be taken in this
matter."
The properties mentioned in the execution order of the High Court are
his residence in Imperial Heights building at Pali Hill, Nargis Dutt
Road, Bandra and his office, Sanjay Dutt Productions, Mayfair Melody
at Tagore Road in Santacruz.
According to IMPPA award, Noorani had paid Rs 50 lakh to Sanjay for
his film in October 2001. The film is 50 per cent complete because
the actor failed to give dates for the shooting as a result of which
the producer suffered financial loss of Rs 1.53 crore payable to the
financiers, a copy of the award, available to PTI, said.
IMPPA had called Sanjay for hearing him but the arbitration committee
adjourned the case twice on his request. On another occasion, he
failed to appear, the award said.
