The Bombay High Court has cancelled the non-bailable warrant that was issued against Arjun Rampal in connection with a 2019 tax evasion case.
The court criticised the magistrate's ruling as 'mechanical' and 'cryptic', stating that the issuance of the non-bailable warrant was neither warranted nor legally justified due to a lack of proper legal reasoning.
The case stems from a complaint filed by the Income Tax Department in 2019, alleging that Arjun Rampal willfully defaulted on tax payments for the financial year 2016-17.
Arjun Rampal's lawyer argued that the Income Tax Department's complaint lacks merit, stating that the actor had already paid the full tax amount for FY 2016-17, albeit with some delay, and that there was no tax evasion.
The matter is scheduled for a further hearing on June 16, when the court will examine additional aspects of the case to determine if the complaint will continue or be dismissed.
