Mumbai Court Dismisses Tanushree Dutta's MeToo Case Against Nana Patekar Over Legal Limitations

The court ruled that the case was filed beyond the legal time limit, citing insufficient grounds to proceed further.

A Mumbai court has dismissed Tanushree Dutta's sexual harassment case against Nana Patekar and three others, citing the expiration of the legal period of limitation.
The allegations stem from incidents on the sets of the 2008 film 'Horn Ok Pleassss,' which Dutta reported in 2018 during the #MeToo movement.
The court stated that no sufficient explanation for the delay in filing the complaint was provided, making it legally inadmissible.
Police investigations in 2019 had found no incriminating evidence against the accused and filed a 'B-summary' report to close the case.
Dutta has expressed her intent to continue pursuing the case and claims that witness intimidation played a role in the initial dismissal of evidence.
