Mumbai: A judge refused to grant an injunction to Bollywood star Salman Khan who moved a civil and sessions court against a neighbour for allegedly making false and defamatory allegations against the actor.
The actor filed a short cause civil suit against his Panvel farmhouse neighbour Ketan Kakkad and others seeking interim orders to restrain them from making "false, disparaging and defamatory allegations against him".
In his plea, the actor claimed that the allegations were causing him and his family "grave harm, loss and prejudice". His lawyers urged the court to grant an injunction.
Kakkad's advocates Abha Singh and Aditya Pratap opposed the plea stating that they needed time to go through the court papers.
Additional Sessions Judge Anil Laddhad refused to grant an injunction and granted time to the advocates to file a reply for Kakkad. The hearing was adjourned till January 21. (UNI)
