The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has stayed proceedings in a criminal defamation case against filmmaker Aditya Dhar and others over their film Article 370. The complaint was filed by Ghulam Mohammad Shah, alleging that the movie used his photograph without permission, portraying him as a terrorist and damaging his reputation.\r\nThe court noted that key legal procedures were overlooked, and Shah\'s statements were not recorded under oath, as required. The filmmakers, including Aditya Dhar, had produced Article 370, starring Dhar\'s wife, Yami Gautam Dhar. The magistrate had issued a pre-cognizance summons under Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, pertaining to defamation.\r\nSenior advocate Syed Faisal Qadri argued that the magistrate had to examine the complainant and witnesses under oath, and the court agreed, staying proceedings in Shah\'s complaint against Aditya Dhar. The next hearing is scheduled for March 23.\r\nThe court\'s decision highlights the importance of following proper procedures in defamation cases, ensuring that accused individuals are given a fair chance to respond.

Legal trouble for Hera Pheri 3. Bollywood has been excited ever since Hera Pheri 3 has been announced. The film marks the return of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan.\r\nIn the meantime, reports are coming that the makers landed in trouble when a south producer moved to court alleging that he owns the rights for the film.&nbsp; Seven Arts International Limited has filed a petition stating that Nadiadwala was authorised to make only one Hindi remake of the Malayalam original Ramji Rao Speaking (1989), which was released as the Priyadarshan-directed Hera Pheri in 2000. However, Nadiadwala went on to produce a sequel, Phir Hera Pheri (2006), and has now sold the rights for the third part to actor Akshay Kumar&rsquo;s production house.\r\nGP Vijayakumar, MD of Seven Arts International shared &ldquo;I bought the entire rights for the Hera Pheri franchise from the original producers of Ramji Rao Speaking, Adithya Films in 2022. They informed me that Firoz Nadiadwala had been given the right to make one Hindi version of the film. But he made a second version which released in 2006. He is not authorised to make a sequel or prequel, or use the characters.&rdquo;\r\nVijayakumar reasoned, &ldquo;While the first film was directed by Priyadarshan who we are close to, the second film was directed by Neeraj Vora, and the copyright holders at the time didn&rsquo;t realise what happened. The original producers and I realised much later that Nadiadwala has done a violation and cheating. At the time we thought jo ho gaya, ho gaya. We will produce the next version in Hindi. We approached actor Akshay Kumar for the same and that&rsquo;s when we got to know that Nadiadwala has sold the rights to Akshay&rsquo;s production house Cape of Good Films. We sent Nadiadwala a legal notice on how he could sell something he did not own. I had no option but to move the Court.&rdquo;\r\n<div></div>
