Kerala High Court Quashes Cheating Cases Against Nivin Pauly and Abrid Shine
The Kerala High Court quashed cheating cases against actor Nivin Pauly and director Abrid Shine following an out-of-court settlement with complainant P.S. Shamnas. The dispute arose from financial disagreements related to the films 'Mahaveeryar' and 'Action Hero Biju 2,' including allegations of unauthorized sale of overseas rights. The court noted the offences were not serious and that continuing prosecution served no purpose, as both parties no longer wished to pursue the matter.
