Shilpa Shetty and her billionaire husband Raj Kundra have petitioned the Bombay High Court to overturn a Rs 60-crore cheating case filed against them by the Mumbai police's economic offences division.

Aside from attempting to have the FIR dismissed, the couple has also asked the court to order the police not to submit a chargesheet in the case and not to take any coercive action against them until their petitions are heard. Their petitions were heard on Monday by a bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekar and Justice Gautam Ankhad.
