Kaththi: Gopi withdraws the case against AR Murugadoss

Script writer Minjur Gopi, who had claimed Kaththi story is based on his script Moothakudi, had filed a case at the court some months back. However, in a sudden turn of events, Minjur Gopi has withdrawn his case from the court. Reports claim that Gopi has withdrawn his case, as he has no strong evidences. Court has fined Gopi with 1000 rupees and dismissed the case. Here is the court verdict on the issue:

 

“Please note that the appeals viz., AS Nos. 374 & 375/2014 filed by Mr.Gopi as against the order dated 25/09/2014 passed by the XIII Assistant City Civil Court dismissing O.S.No. 2155/2014 filed by Mr.Gopi to injunction the production/ release of the film KATHI came for arguments before the XVII Additional City Civil Court today i.e. 11/11/2014. When the matter was taken up for hearing, rather than arguing the matter, Mr.Gopi appeared in person along with his counsel and withdrew the appeals filed by him. It was then pointed out on our behalf that Mr.Gopi has indulged in frivolous and vexatious litigation and that Mr.Gopi will have to be directed to pay cost for indulging in frivolous and vexatious litigation. The learned XVII Additional City Civil Court Judge upon hearing our arguments dismissed the appeals filed by Mr.Gopi today as withdrawn and has further directed Mr.Gopi to pay Rs.1,000/- as cost to legal aid.”
