In Trouble

Sanjay Dutts flat in Pali Hill,Mumbai and his office in Santacruz were attached recently because of his failing to compensate producer Shakeel Noorani

Sanjay Dutts flat in Pali Hill,Mumbai and his office in Santacruz were attached recently because of his failing to compensate producer Shakeel Noorani,who suffered huge losses after the actor abandoned his film.

The High Courts execution department had asked the Sheriffs office to attach the properties after Noorani sought implementation of an arbitration award passed in his favour by the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association IMPPA in January this year.

The case goes back to 2001 when Noorani signed Dutt for his Jaan Ki Baazi. Nooranis lawyer Ashok Sarogi said that the producer had even paid him a signing amount of Rs 50 lakh. But after 50 per cent of the film was completed,Dutt refused to give further dates. Sarogi moved the High Court in October,seeking implementation of the award.

Property confiscated

The Enforcement Directorate ED has confiscated eight flats and five car- parking spaces of singer Adnan Sami in a high-rise building and slapped a fine of Rs 20 lakh for acquiring assets without permission of Reserve Bank of India as he is a Pakistani national.

The properties,located in Oberoi Sky Garden Housing Society in the posh Lokhandwala Complex in suburban Andheri,were acquired by Sami in 2003 in violation of Foreign Exchange Management acquisition and transfer of immovable property in India Regulations,2000,ED sources said.
