What! HC Judge could not make judgement on Salman Khan’s plea in defamation case against his neighbour owing to less time

MUMBAI :On Thursday, a Bombay High Court judge announced that it would not be possible to announce order on an appeal which was filed by actor Salman Khan regarding the defamation case he placed against his neighbour, Ketan Kakkad, stating there was less time. The plea will now be presented and heard over again by another judge. Justice C V Bhadang, who was the judge who heard the arguments in the case and reserved his order, is retiring on Friday. Justice Bhadang had in August begun the hearing on the appeal filed by the actor against a lower court order of March 2022.

The lower court had refused to restrain Ketan Kakkad, who owns land near Khan's farmhouse at Panvel, from posting derogatory video posts against the actor. The court also refused to instruct Kakkad to delete his earlier YouTube videos.

On October 11, Justice Bhadang closed the matter for orders after the arguments were over. “Unfortunately, I am unable to complete the judgement. I tried my level best till last evening. But unfortunately, there was vacation and then administrative work, and I had other assignments. I will have to list this as part heard,” the HC judge said on Thursday. He further said, “I understand the apprehension of the parties and that substantial time and efforts went into this. I would have loved to decide this case either way. Unfortunately, this came at the fag end of my career.”

The Bollywood superstar had filed a defamation suit against Kakkad in the lower court, over videos he uploaded on his social media about Khan's activities at his farmhouse in Panvel, near Mumbai. When the civil court refused to pass any restraining orders in the interim against Kakkad, Khan moved the HC. In his plea, the actor said that the posts uploaded by Kakkad were not only defamatory, but also communal and provocative in nature.

Kakkad's lawyers, Abha Singh and Aditya Singh, claim that the defamation suit was filed by the actor in order to pressurise their client to give up his land.
