Mumbai’s Andheri Magistrate Court has dismissed actress Tanushree Dutta’s FIR against actor Nana Patekar. The case, filed at Oshiwara police station on October 10, 2018, was related to an alleged sexual harassment incident from March 23, 2008.

The court ruled that the case was time-barred under the Limitation Act. The police had earlier submitted a ‘B summary report’ citing lack of evidence.

Tanushree did not seek condonation for the delay in filing, and the court found no sufficient grounds to proceed. Over 100 people were reportedly present on set during the alleged incident, but no strong evidence supported her claims.

Advocate Padma Shelatkar stated, “My clients failed to understand the reason for coming up with these false allegations. With a large fan following built through hard work and dedication, they believe the accusations were made solely to tarnish their reputation with an ulterior motive.”

She added, “However, some individuals misuse the law to target respected names in the industry, which is unfair and unethical, impacting the careers of veterans. My clients have endured significant hardship over the past seven years, facing immense stress and trauma, which I have personally witnessed.”

“Today, the Hon’ble Andheri Magistrate Court dismissed the complainant’s case. This case serves as a reminder for those who may be unfairly targeted with ulterior motives under the guise of the #MeToo movement. We had faith in law and order, judiciary and we are delighted with the outcome of the case today,” she concluded.
