Warrant against Rajinikanth family, arrest averted

The XXIII Metropolitan Magistrate court in Saidapet recalled the bailable warrant issued against Mrs. Latha Rajinikanth and Soundarya Rajinikanth Aswhin after the ladies settled a financial dispute out of court.

The warrant was issued on a complaint filed by businessman Sumerchand Bafna of Teynampet. According to Bafna, Soundarya and Latha Rajinikanth had obtained a loan of Rs. 20 lakhs from him in August 2009. They issued two cheques, dated December 1, 2010, towards repayment, but the cheques bounced. He filed a complaint on December 24, 2010 at the Magistrate's court. Based on the complaint, the ladies were summoned to appear in court before January 19. Since they failed to do so, the arrest warrant was issued and the matter adjourned till yesterday. Latha and Soundarya did not come for the hearing yesterday also, which resulted in the court ordering the warrant to be executed by March 9.

To avoid the impending arrest, the matter was reportedly settled out of court. Sumerchand filed a petition later in the day to that effect and requested permission to withdraw the complaint, which the court permitted.
