Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra’s advocate on the fraud allegations

He further added, “Post this enquiry , the complainant opted to file a private complaint under sec 156(3) CrPC before the Honourable Court. After a passage of almost 2 years, the Honourable Court has directed the police to investigate the case again . We have complete faith in the independence and fairness of the investigation. The truth shall prevail. My clients have not committed any offence and it has been established through documents in possession of my clients . The invoice between the Complainant and my clients, clearly reflect that there is an Arbitration clause in the said contract. If the complainant has any grievance about the alleged “interest amount “ the clause of Arbitration can certainly be invoked. However, the act of initiating criminal proceedings for settling commercial disputes has been deprecated by plethora of judgements of Honourable Supreme Court and various Honourable High Courts of our country.”

He concluded his statement by noting that Shilpa and Raj “shall fight this battle legally and shall cooperate with the investigation agencies.”
