New Delhi: A Delhi
court Wednesday directed former Indian cricket captain and MP
Mohammed Azharuddin to pay Rs.15 lakh as cost for wasting the
court's time after he told the judge that he had settled a dud
cheque case with the complainant.
Azhar issued a cheque of Rs.1.5 crore to the complainant twice. It
was dishonoured on both the occasions. The transaction was linked
to a deal to buy a property in Mumbai's suburb Bandra.
Metropolitan Magistrate Vikrant Vaid said: "Ten percent of the
said amount of cheque should be paid to Delhi State Legal Services
Authority (DLSA)."
The magistrate said Azhar wasted the precious time of the court,
as he could have settled the matter right at the beginning of the
proceedings.
The court directed Azhar to pay the amount within a month and
asked him to deposit Rs.1 lakh, out of the cost, as surety.
The court direction came after the submission made by counsel of
complainant Sanjay Solanki and Azhar that they had settled the
case.
According to Solanki, Azhar purchased the property in Bandra for
around Rs.4 crore. He was supposed to pay Rs.1.5 crore as initial
amount.
The court in its last hearing issued a non-bailable warrant
against Azhar after he failed to appear in court.
Azhar had moved an application seeking exemption from appearing in
court claiming that he was busy campaigning for the Uttar Pradesh
assembly election.
