Court reserves order on Dutt, Manyata’s plea

Mumbai: The Sessions Court has reserved its order on the application filed by Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt and his girlfriend Manyata till May 28. Additional Sessions Judge S. N. Sardesai reserved the case for orders after hearing the arguments from both sides on Wednesday.

The couple, in the application, had challenged the allegations of bigamy levelled by Manyata’s first husband Meraj Rehman. According to the application, the couple has not committed an offence of bigamy as there is no material to prove the validity of their marriage under law. Challenging the order of a court in suburban Bandra for legal proceedings against them for bigamy, the couple said their reported marriage in Goa stands null and void.

Dutt and Manyata, in their application, said that in order to prosecute them for bigamous marriage, it is necessary that their marriage must be proved valid. PTI
