Shilpa-Raj’s plea to travel abroad denied by Bombay HC
**Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Raj Kundra’s Plea to Travel Abroad Denied by Bombay High Court**
*By Apoorva Rastogi | Oct 01, 2025, 05:45 PM*
The Bombay High Court has rejected the interim relief sought by actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra and businessman Raj Kundra, denying their plea to suspend the Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against them. The LOC relates to a ₹60 crore fraud case involving their now-defunct company, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd.
### Denial of Travel Permission
The couple had applied for permission to travel to Phuket from October 2 to 5 for a leisure trip. However, the court refused their request, maintaining the LOC in place.
### Legal Arguments by the Couple
Represented by advocates Niranjan Mundargi and Keral Mehta, the Kundras argued that despite the case being filed in 2021, they have traveled abroad multiple times and have always returned to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. Their lawyers contended that the couple should be allowed to travel internationally even while the legal proceedings continue.
The court, meanwhile, has directed Public Prosecutor Mankunwar Deshmukh to file a response to their plea by October 8.
### Upcoming International Travels
In their petition, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Raj Kundra also outlined their forthcoming travel plans:
– **Los Angeles:** October 21-24, 2025, for work commitments.
– **Colombo and Maldives:** October 26-29, 2025, for expanding their hospitality venture, Hotel Bastian.
– **Dubai and London:** December 20, 2025, to January 6, 2026, to visit Raj Kundra’s parents.
They have requested the court’s permission to undertake these international trips.
### Details of the Fraud Case
The cheating case stems from a complaint lodged by Deepak Kothari, Director of UY Industries Pvt Ltd. Kothari alleged that between 2015 and 2023, the Kundras persuaded him to invest in their business venture.
According to the complaint, Kothari invested ₹60.48 crore as a loan under an investment agreement, with Shilpa Shetty Kundra providing a personal guarantee.
The investigation is ongoing, with the court closely monitoring the proceedings.
