Court Asks Sushant Singh Rajput's Father And Filmmakers To 'See If Dispute Can Be Settled'
The Delhi High Court Wednesday suggested that Sushant Singh Rajput's father and the makers of a film purportedly based on the late Bollywood actor's life make an attempt at finding a solution to their dispute.
The
Delhi
High
Court
Wednesday
suggested
that
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
father
and
the
makers
of
a
film
purportedly
based
on
the
late
Bollywood
actor's
life
make
an
attempt
at
finding
a
solution
to
their
dispute.
"Talk
to
each
other
and
see
if
it
can
be
worked
out,"
said
Justice
Talwant
Singh
while
hearing
Krishna
Kishore
Singh's
appeal
against
the
single-judge
order
refusing
to
stay
the
release
of
the
film
''Nyay:
The
Justice''.
"Independent
of
the
proceedings,
we
will
try
to
resolve," said
senior
advocate
Jayant
Mehta,
representing
Kishore
Singh.
Senior
advocate
Chander
Lall,
appearing
on
behalf
of
the
film
director,
also
agreed
to
the
suggestion
and
said
that
there
was
"no
intention
to
take
advantage".
Justice
Rajiv
Shakdher,
who
was
heading
the
two-judge
bench,
remarked
that
the
case
did
not
seem
like
"one
of
those
cases
where
settlement
is
possible".
The
court
issued
notice
and
granted
a
week
to
the
filmmakers
to
respond
to
Kishore
Singh's
application
seeking
a
stay
on
further
circulation
or
publication
of
the
movie.
The
court
noted
that
the
application
contained
certain
documents
which
were
not
before
the
single-judge
and
thus
suggested
that
an
application
for
the
said
relief
be
filed
before
the
single
judge
itself.
Mr
Lall
highlighted
that
in
the
judgement
under
challenge,
the
single-judge
has
already
given
liberty
to
Kishore
Singh
to
come
back
to
it
after
the
release
of
the
film
in
case
of
any
fresh
grievances.
Mr
Mehta,
however,
stated
that
he
would
want
to
take
his
chance
before
the
division
bench
and
that
the
documents
only
reinforced
the
stand
already
taken
by
his
client
in
the
plea
before
the
single
judge.
He
argued
that
the
single
judge
had
erroneously
ruled
that
celebrity
rights
ceased
to
exist
after
death
and
that
the
movie
was
merely
inspired
from
the
life
of
Mr
Rajput.
Mr
Mehta
emphasised
that
there
were
media
interviews
given
by
the
actors
associated
with
the
film
that
it
was
based
on
the
late
actor's
life
and
having
a
disclaimer
at
the
start
of
the
film
was
not
sufficient.
Inspired
is
a
convenient
stand.
It
is
not
correct,
Mr
Mehta
said
as
he
contended
that
even
the
victims
have
a
right
to
fair
trial.
