Actress and former MP Jaya Prada is absconding in two cases concerning violating the code of conduct. She has been announced as the “most wanted. The actress hasn’t made any appearance in court, despite many legal notices sent to her. Jaya Prada appealed for the Allahabad High Court to quash non-bailable warrants against her. However, her appeal was declined stating it to be baseless.
On Tuesday, the MP/MLA court of Rampur issued section 82 CrPC against her. The court even ordered the police to form a special team and present her in court in the next hearing.
Following that, an appeal was filed in the High Court by the actress’ lawyers, seeking to quash the order of the trial court. On Thursday, Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh took note of the entire case. Jaya’s lawyers stated that they need to file a new application with new documents. The lawyers even sought for the court to withdraw the petitions filed against her. This plea was accepted by the court and the petitions have been withdrawn.
Jaya Prada was charged with the violation of the code of conduct during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Rampur. Because of her act, she was summoned by the Rampur District Court on several occasions. However, the actress never appeared in any of the court hearings. This led to the court declaring her as absconding.
Though several non-bailable warrants were issued against her, the actress never appeared in the court. Both cases were filed against her during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections when she was a member of the BJP party.
