Jaya Prada Cleared of All Charges in Court Case

Former MP from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and film actress Jaya Prada has been acquitted of all charges related to the violation of the Model Code of Conduct. The court found all complaints against her to be false.

Jaya Prada said, “All the complaints made against me in the case of violation of code of conduct, were found to be false by the court. I have always said that I am not wrong in any case… Today, I have been acquitted of all the false charges. I want to thank everyone. I have always respected the court and its decision…”

Jaya Prada was considered ‘absconding’ in two cases related to the violation of the code of conduct. The decision came after she failed to appear for a court hearing, despite repeated notices and non-bailable warrants against her.

The MP/MLA court in Rampur issued CrPC order 82 for her non-appearance even after issuing a non-bailable warrant (NBW) several times. Senior Prosecution Officer Amarnath Tiwari said that the 2019 election code of conduct case against Jaya Prada was registered in the court of the Special MP/MLA Court, Rampur, in Kemri police station and Swar police station.

MP/MLA Magistrate Court Judge Shobhit Bansal issued NBW to Jaya Prada due to her non-appearance in court on the previous dates. The report sent by Inspector Ranji Trivedi noted that the accused was protecting herself, and her mobile was switched off. Following this, a demand was made in court to take action under Section 82 CrPC against the accused, Jaya Prada. The order has been made, and the next date has been fixed as March 6.
