HC allows Pak singer Adnan Sami to go abroad for concert

May 31, 2014

Mumbai, May 31: The Bombay High Court has allowed Pakistani singer Adnan Sami, locked in a legal battle with his former wife Sabah Galadari, to visit Australia in July for a concert but pulled him up for failing to comply with its earlier orders of furnishing sureties.

Sami to go abroadGranting interim relief, Justice M S Sonak yesterday allowed an application filed by Sami through advocate Amit Ghag seeking nod for overseas tour, but with the condition that he would furnish the sureties by July 31.

"The applicant seems to be taking the court orders lightly. He has not complied with the orders since January," the Judge said.

Sami was recently allowed to visit Pakistan to meet his ailing mother. He sought permission to retain his passport to visit Perth and Brisbane in Australia for a music show between July 5 and July 17.

His passport had been seized by police after his two sureties withdrew the undertaking that he would be available in India to face the trial.

Edith De, counsel for Galadari, opposed Sami's plea, saying the singer has failed to complete the formalities of submitting sureties before the trial court.

The Judge allowed Sami to visit Australia but directed him to furnish fresh sureties by July 31.

The High Court, in June 2011, had relaxed conditions of Sami's anticipatory bail wherein he had to take prior permission from court every time to travel abroad.

However, the HC had asked Sami to give undertaking to get two sureties who would give personal bond of Rs 1.5 crore.

A surety is a person or a firm that agrees to be liable for the conduct or obligation of another person.

Last year, his two sureties withdrew the bond and undertaking and hence he has to once again approach the High Court for permission to travel abroad.

Adnan and Galadari are locked in a legal battle. The couple got married in 2001 and divorced in 2004. However, they remarried in 2007 and once again split in 2009. Ever since they are engaged in court cases filed against each other.

Galadari lodged a domestic violence complaint against Sami here in April 2009.

Los Angeles, May 24: Filmmaker Frank Marshall, one of the producers behind Jurassic World: Dominion, says the forthcoming film is not a conclusion of the franchise.

Colin Trevorrow, who rebooted Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Jurassic Park franchise with 2015's Jurassic World, is back on the director's chair after sitting out on second movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).

Asked about the upcoming movie, Marshall told Collider: "It's the start of a new era."

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are coming back for the third film, which will also feature original stars of 1993's Jurassic Park -- Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill.

The producer also revealed how he sees the film franchise extending into the future.

"The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope," Marshall said.

The film was three weeks into production when it was shut down over coronavirus concerns, but the producer said the team has the sets built in London and will be "back in business" once they have guidelines from the British government.

Dominion is still slated to be released on its scheduled date of June 11, 2021.
