In a relief for Rinkie Khanna, daughter of Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna, the Bombay high court on Thursday quashed the complaint filed by the late actor's alleged live-in partner Anita Advani.
Justice ML Tahilyani quashed the complaint observing that Rinkie Khanna, who is married and lives in Kolkata, has nothing to do with the case and hence her name should be dropped from the complaint.
In 2013, Advani had filed a complaint before a magistrate under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act against Khanna's estranged wife Dimple Kapadia, their daughters Rinkie and Twinkle and son-in-law Akshay Kumar.
Advani had claimed she was evicted from Khanna's suburban bungalow Aashirwad after his death and sought monthly maintenance and a three bedroom flat in Bandra.
A magistrate's court had then issued notices to them seeking their reply. After that the magistrate initiated proceedings against them.
Senior counsels Shirish Gupte and Mahesh Jethmalani, appearing for the family, argued that Advani cannot claim relief under the DV Act and maintenance as Dimple and her family were not living with Rajesh Khanna or Advani.
Also, Rinkie was married and lived in Kolkata, hence her name should be dropped, argued the counsels.
Advani's advocate Mrinalini Deshmukh conceded following which justice Tahilyani quashed the proceeding initiated against Rinkie.
Justice Tahilyani suggested Advani to consider dropping actor Akshay Kumar's name but she refused and said Twinkle and her husband Akshay were responsible for throwing her (Advani) out of Aashirwad after Rajesh Khanna's death.
Deshmukh argued that Advani should be given monetary compensation by Kapadia and her daughter for looking after Rajesh Khanna.
The HC has kept the matter for further arguments in April.
