Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra has filed written notes in anticipatory bail application at the Bombay High Court in connection with the pornography case. The names of Poonam Pandey and Sherlyn Chopra are linked in this case. The Court, last week adjourned the hearing in the case for Monday, November 22.
In his written notes, Kundra’s legal team headed by Advocate Prashant Patil and Advocate Swapnil Ambure and stated that no case under Section 67, nor 67(A) can be made out against the applicant or against any other co-accused, in the present prosecution. In an interaction with a leading news portal, advocate Ambure said that the prosecution is seeking to contend that Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey’s videos are the subject matter of the offence. It is a matter of record that Raj Kundra has played no part either in making or distributing the said videos. In fact, both Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey have said that they themselves made such videos and it was done by them for making commercial gains.
Advocate Patil added that they have submitted a judgment and a brief note which shows how the said content/videos do not attract 67A of the IT Act. The expression Explicit means, ‘Stated clearly and precisely and or prescribing or representing sexual activity in a direct and detailed way. While the expression Sexual Activity is defined in Black’s Law Dictionary as ‘Physical sexual activity or both persons engaged in sexual relations’.
They both also allege that Raj Kundra is in no way connected to the content creation, publication or even transmitting the said videos. Ambure and Patil said that they also argued that the videos may be erotic but do not involve any physical sexual activity or both persons engaged in sexual relations. Spouting the investigations involving the app Hotshots, the lawyers stated that none of the content which was displayed on Hotshots was created or uploaded during the period with which he was connected with it.
The Bombay High Court in July accepted Sherlyn and Poonam’s anticipatory bail applications in the porn case. After hearing their case, the Court announced that no action will be taken against the duo till September 20, 2021. The same has also been granted to Kundra and extended to 25th November. The duo has maintained that they had been forced by Kundra into shooting the A-rated films. The anticipatory bail hearing will be held on Thursday, 25th November.
