Film actress Jayapradha has been directed by the Madras High Court to deposit Rs 20 lakh and approach the principal sessions court in Chennai. This comes after her sentence of six months imprisonment was suspended and she was granted bail for non-payment of Employees State Insurance (ESI) funds for the workers employed at a cinema theatre she owned in the city. Jayapradha and her partners in Jayapradha Cine Theatre were convicted by the trial court and sentenced to six months imprisonment and a fine of Rs 5,000 each. They were found to have deducted the ESI contribution amount from employees’ salaries but failed to pay it to the state insurance corporation. The actress now has fifteen days to deposit the required amount and seek suspension of her sentence.
