Kochi:The Kerala High Court on Wednesday stayed further proceedings in the breach of contract case registered against Bollywood actress Sunny Leone and two others by the Crime Branch wing of the state police. Justice Ziyad Rahman stayed the proceedings considering the plea filed by the actress seeking to quash the FIR filed against her by the crime branch for allegedly breaching terms of a contract supposedly entered into with a firm for a stage performance in Kozhikode four years ago.
In her plea, the actress has rejected the allegations against her, her husband and their employee, contending that the charges would not constitute the ingredients of the alleged offences. She has claimed they were not involved in any crime to date. She said they were put to untold misery and irreparable loss in making them face what she called a long-drawn process of trial when no material or clear evidence against them has been found.
