No Dowry Case Against Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Mumbai Court Dismisses Plea Filed By Ex-Wife

A Mumbai court recently dismissed two petitions filed by Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Ex- wife Zainab seeking police orders to file dowry harassment cases against him.

Lawyers Adnan Shaikh and Drishti Khurana, appearing on behalf of actor, stated that Zainab filed numerous complaints against Siddiqui for falsely claiming to be his wife.

Shaikh and Khurana stated, “Two cases filed before a magistrate’s court were dismissed (on February 21) after we produced the couple’s divorce papers.”

The cases against Nawaz were filed based on marriage documents. The lawyers claimed that legitimate divorce documents were concealed from the court.

In petitions filed before the magistrate’s Court, Zainab had sought direction to the Versova police station in suburban Mumbai to register an FIR against the actor and his mother under IPC sections 498A (dowry harassment), 509 (to provide protection to women), and other related provisions.

Last month, the Versova police arrested Zainab for alleged trespass and voluntarily causing harm on the complaint of the actor’s mother, Mehrunisa Siddiqui. She claimed Zainab broke into her home and assaulted her after they got into an argument.
