Jaya Prada gets punished with 6 months imprisonment and fine

Bollywood fame and former politician Jaya Prada gets a sentence of 6 months in jail with a 5000 fine for stopping payment of ESI.

Jaya Prada is not only a successful Bollywood actress of the ’90s. Along with giving many hits and memorable iconic roles, she also worked as a successful politician in the country. Altogether, She has served the nation all her life first as an entertainer and then serving the system as a devoted politician. Along with working in the films she also turned into an investor starting different projects. And the theatre partnership was one of them.

For some unreported reasons, the owners of the business decided to such it down. But it had a group of employees working on it. All of them went jobless immediately after the closure. As per the law and order even after shutting down the business, the owners of the project are held liable to continue payment of ESI( Employee State Insurance) to the employees until sorted by another employer.

And when they stopped making payments towards the ESI. The Corporation team made attempts to remind them of legal notices to clear the pending dues. But they kept ignoring the issue as they considered it unimportant to pay the dues. Hence, the insurance corporation registered a complaint against Jaya Prada, and her two business partners Raja Babu and Ram Kumar. The case took years to reach the final stage.

And before the final verdict was given, the Maharathi actress appealed to the court to dismiss the case as she is ready to clear all the dues immediately. But the Magistrate immediately dismissed her appeal and announced a 6-month sentence in jail along with a rupees 5000 fine. It came as a shock to the industry, her fans and the public of India. Because this came never received any publicity in the media.

Obviously as a citizen of the country, the guilty always carries a right to appeal to the higher court against the decisions of the lower court. But as reported the former MP of Andhra Pradesh has already agreed to clear the dues accepting her fault. Her appeal request questions her abilities as a suitable politician for the country. Because if those running the system will ignore matters then what they will expect from the public?

Many users are slamming her for not paying ESI that contributes towards the insurance of employees and covering them for medical and fatal needs. A few even said that she is a politician she fairly knows how to handle such matters. Even Shatrughan Sinha said that he trust the capabilities of his costar to sort out the issue. 

Moreover, the general public is also pointing out the fact that the majority of politicians are corrupt. This case was given a lot of attention as it involved a celebrity figure. As expected, the news of the judgement spread as fire on the internet immediately after the actress was sentenced to punishment. As per the details the case was registered in Egmore Metropolitan Magistrate Court. The rest of the legal details are not available. But everybody believes that Jaya Prada will try to handle the matter outside court.

For the unversed, the superstar of the nineties became an actress by chance. While in school she performed on the stage. And a filmmaker who was sitting in the audience offered her a three-minute dance role. And she never looked back after that. Her performance earned her many good-quality roles and gave her a superstar in the nation. The actress contributed majorly to Telugu and Hindi industries in her 20 years career span. But she has also worked for Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada industries.

She married a filmmaker named Srikanth from the south while in the best phase of her acting period. The couple lives alone sans kids as they never embraced parenthood together.

Even after entering the world of politics, she continued her occasional participation on screen.
