Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has stayed the investigation in an FIR registered by the Bandra police alleging a scam involving the misuse of the name of Dadasaheb Phalke to organise fake film award events.

The order came on a petition filed by Anil Mishra, a former spot boy, who along with his son Abhishek, has been accused of cheating film personalities and corporate sponsors.

A bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad issued notice to respondent no. 2, complainant Sameer Dixit, while keeping the matter for hearing on November 7, 2025.

“Till the next date of hearing, further proceedings pursuant to FIR No. 192 of 2025 registered on February 5 at Bandra Police Station shall remain stayed,” the bench ordered.
