Orissa High Court Rejects Anubhav Mohanty’s Plea in Harassment Case
The Orissa High Court has dismissed a petition filed by actor‑politician Anubhav Mohanty seeking to quash criminal proceedings against him in a case lodged by actress Varsha Priyadarshini.
Varsha had alleged that she was subjected to mental harassment by Anubhav and his staff while residing at his Cuttack home.
The case, which has drawn widespread public attention due to the high‑profile personalities involved, will now proceed in the lower court.
Legal experts note that the High Court’s refusal to intervene strengthens Varsha’s position and ensures her allegations will be examined in detail during the trial.
The ruling underscores the judiciary’s stance that harassment complaints must be heard fully rather than dismissed prematurely.
With Anubhav being a prominent figure in Odisha’s film industry and politics, the case is expected to remain in the spotlight as proceedings continue.
