The Supreme Court issues notices to Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, his wife Twinkle Khanna and the late superstar Rajesh Khanna's estranged wife  Dimple Kapadia on a petition filed by Anita Advani against quashing of her complaint of domestic violence against them. Advani had requested for revival of her complaint of domestic violence filed against them, which was earlier quashed by Mumbai court.


Anita Advani, who used to live-in with Rajesh Khanna had filed a complaint in 2013 before a magistrate under the provisions of Domestic Violence Act against Dimple, daughters Twinkle and Rinkie and Akshay.


Anita had claimed that she was evicted from Rajesh Khanna's suburban
bungalow 'Aashirwad' after his death and had sought monthly maintenance and a three-bedroom flat in Bandra.


The magistrate had then issued notices to them for their reply, following which they approached the HC seeking quashing of the proceedings against them. The high court had earlier this year discharged Rinkie from the case after observing that she was married and lived in Kolkata and hence, offence under the Domestic Violence Act cannot be made out against her.
