On Monday, sessions judge AZ Khan stayed the magistrate's order against Shilpa and Shamita, but gave no relief to their mother.
New Delhi: A Mumbai court on Tuesday issued a bailable warrant against Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty's mother in a case related to alleged non-repayment of a loan of Rs 21 lakh, PTI reported.

On Monday, sessions judge AZ Khan stayed the magistrate's order against Shilpa and Shamita, but gave no relief to their mother, PTI reported.
"The deceased Surendra Shetty (Shilpa's father) and Sunanda seemed to be partners in his (businessman) firm while no documents have been produced to show that their daughters were partners too and had any concern with the loan," the court had said.
On Tuesday, Sunanda Shetty failed to appear before the court and the magistrate refused to grant exemption from appearance.
The court then and issued a bailable warrant against her, said advocate Zain Shroff of Y&A Legal, which is representing complainant Parhad Amra.

He said that Shilpa, Shamita and Sunanda failed to repay the money allegedly borrowed by their father in 2015. Shilpa's father had taken the loan at 18 per cent interest per year, the businessman alleged.
The businessman also alleged that Shilpa, Shamita and their mother have not only refused to pay the loan but also denied liability, reports said.
