The Bombay High Court dismissed Nawazuddin Siddiqui's ₹100 crore defamation suit against his brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui and his ex-wife Anjana Pandey due to non-prosecution, as the actor and his lawyer failed to appear in court to advance the case[1][2][3][4][5][6]. The suit, filed in 2023, alleged that Shamasuddin, appointed as Nawazuddin's manager in 2008, misappropriated Rs. 21 crore from the actor's bank accounts and made unauthorized purchases of properties and luxury vehicles under his own name while misleading Nawazuddin about joint ownership. The actor also claimed that defamatory statements and social media posts by his brother and ex-wife damaged his personal reputation and professional career, causing financial losses exceeding Rs 100 crore, including impacts on film releases and his social standing[1][2][4]. Despite the serious allegations involving financial fraud, blackmail, and reputational harm, the case was dismissed because Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his legal team did not pursue the matter actively in court, resulting in the suit being struck down by Justice Jitendra Jain[1][3][5][6]. A detailed court order is yet to be published.
