Arrest warrant against Azharuddin

New Delhi: Congress MP and former India cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin is in trouble for his repeated failure to appear before a court in connection with a cheque bounce case, and could be arrested.

A Delhi court had last week issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against the former cricketer for allegedly having given a cheque that was dishonoured.

Metropolitan Magistrate Vikrant Vaid, while rejecting the submission made by Azharuddin's lawyer that the former cricketer was busy in the election campaigning in the ongoing Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, issued the warrant.

Reports suggest that Azharuddin could be arrested at any time.

During the campaigning, Azhar was also accused of violating the model code of conduct.

According to reports, Azharuddin had taken Rs 1.5 crore from a Delhi-based businessman Sanjay Solanki as advance for a house that he (Azhar) wanted to sell. This property in Mumbai, worth approximately Rs 4.5 crore, was jointly owned by him and his wife Sangeeta Bijlani.

However, after the deal to sell the house to Solanki was finalised, the former cricketer and his wife decided to part ways. The marital discord led to Azharuddin refusing to sell the Mumbai property and agreed to pay the advance back to Solanki.

In 2008, he then issued a cheque of Rs 1.5 crore to Solanki but it was dishonoured by the bank. A year later, Solanki was given a fresh cheque by Azhar, which too bounced.

Azhar apologised to Solanki and in 2010, issued yet another cheque to him. This cheque too was returned by the bank, leading to Solanki filing a lawsuit against the former cricketer.
