New Delhi: Sanjay Dutt's newly-married wife Manyata faced fresh trouble on Monday after the authorities in Goa issued a show-cause notice to her, asking why her residence certificate should not be cancelled.

Margao mamlatdar (senior government officer) Paresh Faldesai, in his notice, has given the starlet time till Tuesday to submit her clarification.

Faldesai said, "I have issued show cause notice to her asking her to reply within one day. The notice is been issued to her Malgaon address from where she has obtained the certificate".

"It has come to the notice that you have not been residing at the given address. Show cause why your residence certificate should not be cancelled," the notice, sent to Manyata's Goa address through circle inspector, reads.

The controversy over the certificate had put a question mark on the issue of Manyata's legal union with Dutt. "We have given her the opportunity to clarify. If she fails to reply, then her residence certificate will be cancelled," PTI quoted a district administration official as saying.

The authorities have already informed the sub-registrar about the suspension of the residence certificate based on which the marriage formalities of Manyata and Dutt have been kept on hold.

Officials said that Manyata has to provide any valid proof that she has been staying at the shown Goa address. "It's upto her what proof she brings," they said.

The sub-registrar's office in Goa, where Manyata and Sanjay had registered their marriage, had earlier questioned the authenticity of Manyata's documents and put the marriage on hold, saying "it cannot go ahead till the law department clears it."
