Court imposes fine on Jeevitha-Rajasekhar

Actor couple Rajasekhar and Jeevitha on Friday ended up paying a fine of Rs. 500 as they failed to respond to a summons issued by IX metropolitan magistrate court of Ranga Reddy district in connection with a case related to the couple's alleged defamatory statement made against Chiranjeevi Eye and Blood Bank last year.

Based on a defamatory petition filed by Manoj Kumar and Sudhakar, residents of Moosapet, the court issued summons to Rajasekhar and Jeevitha to appear in the court in September, but they did not turn up.

On June 27, 2011, the court issued an order imposing a fine of Rs. 500 and ordered Rajasekhar and Jeevitha to appear before the court, failing which a non-bailable warrant would be issued against them. Following this order, the couple appeared before the court on Friday and paid a fine of Rs. 500. Further proceedings of the case will be held on August 19.
