Jackie Shroff
MUMBAI: In another legal relief to actor Jackie Shroff, Bombay high court on Tuesday dismissed an appeal filed by his former business partner in a $3.5 million dispute in arbitration. Last year, Justice S C Gupte of HC set aside a November 2014 arbitral award requiring Shroff to give $3.5 million in liquidated damages to former business partner R S Iyer, a citizen and resident of Singapore.
The award against Shroff was because the arbitrator held that a letter by his wife, Ayesha, was in breach of a dispute settlement agreement of 2011 to not complain again of allegations made in a criminal complaint by him.
