The Hon’ble High Court, Madras stayed the FIR registered against Gautham Vasudev Menon. The Directors of Photon Kathaas Production Pvt Ltd and Gautham Vasudev Menon had filed Crl.O.P.No.1234 of 2014 and 1235 of 2014 before the Hon’ble High Court, Madras to quash the FIR No.38 of 2014 registered by Inspector of Police, Central Crime Branch, Egmore, Chennai on a plea that, FIR has been registered at the instance of Jayaraman, Director of RS Infotainment Pvt Ltd on the false premise that Photon Kathaas Production Pvt Ltd has not shared the profits received from Fox Star Studios. Whereas the truth is no profits were made out of the movie Ekk Deewana Tha which is the Hindi remake of the movie Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya and Fox Star Studios has not given any money as profits to Photon Kathaas Production Pvt. Ltd.
It was also pleaded by Counsel for the Directors of Photon Kathaas Production Pvt Ltd, and Gautham Vasudev Menon in the aforesaid case that Jayaraman, Director of RS Infotainment Pvt Ltd had suppressed the earlier orders of the Hon’ble High Court in the proceedings initiated by Gautham Vasudev Menon, as well as the report filed by the Central Crime Branch, Egmore and the report filed by the Inspector of Police, T Nagar Police Station, after investigation on the very same complaint dated 03.04.13 filed by Jayaraman, Director of RS Infotainment Pvt Ltd and also the proceedings of the Hon’ble Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet in this regard and so the registration of the aforesaid FIR is erroneous and liable to be quashed.
Taking all these factors into consideration, the Hon’ble High Court, Madras by its order dated 20.01.2014 was pleased to stay the FIR No.38 of 2014 until 03.02.2014 and issued notice to RS Infotainment Pvt Ltd to appear before Court on said date either in person or through counsel.
