Legendary actor Dilip Kumar was on Tuesday pronounced “not guilty” by a Mumbai court in an 18-year-old case, which allegedly dealt regarding a bounced cheque.

In his career spanning over six decades, Dilip Kumar starred in movies like “Andaz”, “Devdas”, “Mughal-e-Azam”, “Naya Daur”, “Aan”, “Kranti” and numerous others.

According to the complainant, she had invested Rs 45 lakh in the company and was liable to get Rs 57.61 lakh in return.

One of the lawyers, Hasmukh Shah, said that this decision was taken as there was no proper proof of Dilip Kumar’s direct association with the concerned company’s transactions or daily work. The cheque was of State Bank of Hyderabad but was dishonoured on November 19, 1997 and hence she first sent notice to the company and later filed complaint in December 1997 and a case was registered subsequently. I thank all our well-wishers, friends, fans…
