In 2018, Bollywood actor Salman Khan had filed a defamation law suit against his neighbours who reportedly slandered him.
The neighbours, Ketan Kakkad and his wife Anita Kakkad, alleged that Salman would not let them build a bungalow beside his Panvel farmhouse despite the formers owning the land.
Following up with the case he filed, Salman also filed a plea for injunction in the court, against the defamatory comments spoken by his neighbours Ketan and Anita Kakkad.
As per a report the plea read, “From directly or indirectly loading/uploading, posting, re-posting, tweeting, retweeting, giving interviews, corresponding, communicating, hosting, printing, publishing, issuing, disseminating, circulating, any further or other defamatory content and/or derogatory remarks or making any further or other defamatory content, malicious or scandalous statements, posts, messages, tweets, videos, interviews, communications and correspondence in relation to Khan and/or his Panvel Farmhouse on social media platforms, including but not limited to the ones, run and operated by Defendant Nos. 5 to 12 (social media companies) or otherwise in any manner including on any other medium/mode whatsoever either directly and/or indirectly in any manner whatsoever.”
This suit had come up for hearing in the City Civil Court yesterday, on the 14th of January. The case was heard in the presence of Judge Anil H Laddhad. While Salman’s advocates were focussed on being grant the injunction, advocates Abha Singh and Aditya Pratap who were representing the Kakkads opposed the plea under the circumstances of apparently being unaware of the whole suit because they received the papers on the lawsuit only on the 13th of January (at night).
Advocates Singh and Pratap then asked the Judge to give them time to obtain the Kakkad’s reply over this case. Hearing this, Judge Laddhad rejected Salman’s injunction and also decided to give the Kakkad’s and their advocates time to file a reply. The next hearing of the case is set for January 21st.
