Indore: A local court today (June 7, 2004) dismissed the revision petition against Bollywood actor and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Bikaner constituency, Dharmendra, on the issue of allegedly hiding information about his marriage with actress Hema Malini and changing religion while filing nominations for the Lok Sabha polls.

The revision petition was dismissed by the Additional District Judge of Fast-Track Court, S K Jain, on the ground that "prima facie no case can be made out on the basis of the allegations and if at all the allegations exist, then it should have been filed under the People's Representative Act in front of the concerned district Electoral Officer".

Even the issue of their marriage by changing religion too is now 24-year old and therefore, cannot be challenged under the law, the judge ruled.
