A Delhi court has summoned Bollywood veteran Dharmendra and two other individuals in a case of alleged fraud involving the ‘Garam Dharam Dhaba’ franchise.
Delhi businessman Sushil Kumar filed a complaint, and Judicial Magistrate Yashdeep Chahal issued the summons. According to Kumar, he was duped into purchasing the business on false pretenses.
According to the court’s order, the evidence indicates that the accused people purposefully mislead the complainant as part of a larger conspiracy, which supports the charges of cheating. The Indian Penal Code’s sections 420 (cheating), 120B (criminal conspiracy), and 34 (common intention) have led to the summons of Dharmendra, also known as Dharam Singh Deol in the court filings, and the other co-accused. In addition, Section 506 of the IPC accuses the co-accused with criminal intimidation.
The next hearing in this lawsuit is scheduled for February 20, 2025. The court explained that at this point, a thorough analysis of the case’s merits is not required; only a preliminary evaluation is. A letter of intent bearing the ‘Garam Dharam Dhaba’ logo was among the important documents the judge pointed out as proving that the co-accused pursued the agreement on Dharmendra’s behalf.
In October 2020, the court had dismissed a request for an FIR but acknowledged the complaint and instructed the complainant to provide additional evidence.
Advocate DD Pandey represents Sushil Kumar in the case.
According to Kumar, in April 2018, the co-accused, who was representing Dharmendra, approached him with a proposition to create a “Garam Dharam Dhaba” franchise in Uttar Pradesh along NH-24/NH-9. According to reports, he was informed that the current branches in Delhi and Haryana were bringing in between ₹70 and ₹80 lakh every month. With the promise of a 7% return on investment and help starting the franchise, Kumar was persuaded to invest ₹41 lakh.
However, as negotiations progressed, the co-accused demanded ₹63 lakh, including taxes, and requested that Kumar arrange for land. A letter of intent, signed in September 2018, laid out the payment terms and business details. Kumar paid ₹17.70 lakh by cheque, which was encashed, and bought land in November 2018. Despite repeated attempts, the respondents failed to inspect the land or meet with him, leading Kumar to believe he had been defrauded and suffered significant financial losses.
