In a separate application filed before the court of Additional Sessions Judge, Zinta has sought stay on the trial court order during the pendency of the appeal.

In an order dated May 31 this year, the Civil Judge Chandigarh had dismissed the civil suit filed by Preity Zinta. She had prayed to declare an extraordinary general meeting of the company, which took place on April 21, as illegal and invalid. She had contended that the meeting was conducted by Mohit Burman with the active support of Ness Wadia, in violation and total disregard of the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, as well as the Articles of the company.

The trial court had dismissed her suit after holding that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain it. Zinta holds 23% shareholding in the company that holds a franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and owns a cricket team, Punjab Kings.

The court has issued notices to the firm, Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia, Karan Paul and Muneesh Khanna for July 4.
