After NBW,Dutt turns up in court,gets bail

Film producer Noorani had alleged that Dutt,who was shooting for his film Jaan Ki Baazi,had allegedly withdrawn mid-way through the film and hadnt returned the signing amount of Rs 50 lakh. Noorani moved the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association IMPAA which had directed Dutt to pay the producer over Rs 2 crore for losses incurred. When Dutt failed to pay up,Noorani moved the Bombay High Court. Noorani has alleged that soon after,he started getting threat calls asking him to withdraw the case.

On Monday,Dutt sought exemption from appearing before the court which was not granted. After the court rejected his plea,a non-bailable warrant was issued. Dutt came to the court and got the warrant cancelled, Dutts lawyer Rizwan Merchant said.
