Apex court rejects Anara Gupta's plea January 25, 2005 New Delhi - The Supreme Court Monday declined to interfere with an order passed by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court restraining former Miss Jammu Anara Gupta, accused of involvement in a porn film racket, from coming to Delhi to approach the National Human Rights Commission. When a bench of judges K.G. Balakrishnan and Tarun Chatterjee declined to interfere, Anara's counsel said he was withdrawing the special leave petition against the high court order of Dec 20. The bench then dismissed the petition as withdrawn and asked Anara to approach the high court for relief. In her petition, Anara had assailed the high court decision to stay a trial court's order allowing her to visit Delhi to seek legal remedies for alleged "torture, humiliation and harassment" suffered at the hands of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and "porn industry mafia". Anara alleged the police had framed her and a forensic report had showed she was not the girl in the porn film relied on by police. Anara, who has been granted bail in the case, said in her petition that the high court order amounted to house arrest and illegal confinement and subjected her to continuous torture and harassment by police, mafia and the public. The order violates the rights granted by the constitution and frustrated the purpose of bail granted by the trial court, she said. The petition said Anara, along with her mother and brother, was forcibly and illegally taken to the police station at an odd hour Oct 24 and forced to confess to appearing in porn films.
