Veteran actor Dharmendra and two people who accompanied him were summoned by the Patiala House court in Delhi. This summons follows the complaint filed by a Delhi businessman, alleging defrauding in the Garam Dharam Dhaba franchise case. However, on this whole matter, Nisish Mubar, CEO of Sunny Super Sound and Vijeta Films, said that we have not received any notice.
“Bad choice to invest in Garam Dharam Dhaba”
According to the ANI report, Judicial Magistrate Yashdeep Chahal sent the summons following the complaint of businessman Sushil Kumar. The complainant claims that he was wrong to invest in Garam Dharam Dhaba.
Dharmendra recently turned 89
Dharmendra accused of fraud
The judge said on December 5 that the evidence provided by the complainant during the first investigation. It shows that the accused incited the complainant for his own benefit and committed fraud. The court ordered that Dharmendra and two others be produced before the court under Sections 420 of cheating, 120B of conspiracy and Section 34 of the IPC for similar offenses. The court also said that the letter of intent bearing the logo of Garam Dharam Dhaba and other documents showed that the restaurant was involved in the transaction.
We have not received the notice – CEO
So, Nisish Mubar, CEO of Sunny Super Sound and Vijeta Films, told Indianewsget that we have not received any notice. We do not run Garam Dharam Dhaba. Its promoters only use the name Dharmendra Sir. We also gave notice for the name to be removed. And even if the promoters grant the franchise to someone, they will have to first get permission from Dharmendra sir. But nothing like that happened, we didn’t give anyone permission to franchise. Because the dhaba fee has decreased in the last 4-5 years. This is why Dharmendra ji asked for his name to be removed.
Offered to open Garam Dharam Dhaba franchise – Complainant
The problem is that the complainant Sushil Kumar was contacted in April 2018 by two other people involved with Dharmendra. Sushil was offered to open a franchise of Garam Dharam Dhaba on NH24 and NH9 in Uttar Pradesh. The complainant was induced to invest in the franchise on the pretext that the restaurant’s branch at Connaught Place, Delhi and Murthal, Haryana would earn Rs. is around Rs 70 to 80 lakh.
The greed for profit
The complainant claims that he was promised that he would have to invest Rs 41 lakh and would receive seven percent profit on the investment. The complainant alleged that after several meetings and emails with the accused in the Garam Dharam Dhaba franchise case, he was asked to invest Rs 63 lakh plus taxes and develop land for the business.
I didn’t pick up the phone after taking the money – complainant
The complainant stated that a letter of intent was signed on September 22, 2018. In which all the commercial terms were drawn up. The complainant Sushil had paid around Rs 18 lakh through check. The accused obtained money from him and then stopped meeting the complainant and answering his calls. The land was purchased in November 2018, but it was never inspected. It is for this reason that the complainant claims to have been deceived.
Let us tell you, the next hearing of the case will take place on February 20, 2025.
