Sonu Sood expressed his delight after the Supreme Court granted him relief over a case by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on his property in Mumbai. As the court directed that no action should be taken against the actor, he decided to withdraw his petition from the apex court, challenging a Bombay High Court verdict. Sharing a strong statement alleging an attempt to 'malign' him, he exulted that 'justice prevails.'
Sonu Sood’s statement on relief in property case
In a statement on Twitter, Sonu conveyed his gratitude to the Supreme Court for giving him a ‘breath of fresh air’ and ‘time to take corrective measures’. He stated that his property was ‘always legal’, and felt vindicated over his faith in the judiciary.
Sharing that his endeavour was always to conduct business in ‘fair manner’, with all permissions, the Dabangg star stated, ”I have had to suffer at the hands of certain persons with nefarious designs, who were out to malign my image."
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice of India S A Bobde, and Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian, allowed Sonu Sood to withdraw the Special Leave Petition and the suit in the case and allow the processing of the application in accordance with the law.
"Mylord, the petitioner, is an actor and he got the notice received from BMC on illegal construction at his residence," Mukul Rohatgi, senior lawyer and former Attorney General (AG) submitted to the bench.
The CJI then stated that his brother told him about 'his script being written well.' "It is good that you are advising your client, to withdraw the petition from the SC," the CJI said.
The bench ordered that no coercive action be taken against Sonu Sood until the authorities make a decision on the application as per the law.
Sonu Sood property case
The BMC had sent Sonu Sood a legal notice in October last year and filed a police complaint against him last month, alleging that he had converted his 6-storey property in Juhu into a hotel without obtaining permission. He had then approached the sessions court and the high court, which dismissed his plea, after which he approached the SC.
