Overview

  • Preity Zinta has filed a legal case in Chandigarh against co-owners Mohit Burman and Ness Wadia over a disputed Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on April 21.
  • Zinta alleges the meeting violated procedural requirements under the Companies Act, 2013, and her prior objections to the meeting were ignored.
  • She is challenging the appointment of Muneesh Khanna as a director, which she and fellow director Karan Paul opposed during the EGM.
  • The lawsuit seeks to annul the EGM, prevent Khanna from acting as a director, and bar further meetings without her and Paul’s participation until the case is resolved.
  • Despite the ongoing legal dispute, Zinta continues to support the Punjab Kings, who have qualified for the IPL playoffs for the first time since 2014 under Shreyas Iyer's leadership.
