Bombay High Court Restrains Mumbai Police from Filing Chargesheet Against Actor Dhruva Sarja

The Bombay High Court has restrained Mumbai Police from filing a chargesheet against Kannada actor Dhruva Sarja in a cheating case without prior court approval.

The complaint by producer Raghvendra Hegde alleges Sarja took ₹3 crore between 2016–2018 for a film, The Soldier, which was never made, claiming losses of over ₹9 crore with interest.

Sarja admitted receiving funds but argued that a workable script was only given in December 2023, denying any intent to cheat.

The bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam A. Ankhad passed the order.
