Salman Khan seeks contempt action against Kamaal Khan for defamation
The defamation suit filed by Salman seeks to restrain Kamaal R Khan from directly or indirectly making and uploading videos or any other content on the actor
Bollywood actor Salman Khan on Monday filed an application before a court here demanding that contempt action be initiated against actor Kamaal R Khan for continuing to make defamatory remarks despite an undertaking not to do so.
The application was submitted in a defamation suit filed by Salman seeking to restrain Kamaal R Khan from directly or indirectly making and uploading videos or any other content on the actor, his business ventures and films/projects.
When the defamation suit was heard last month, Kamaal R Khan's advocate Manoj Gadkari told the court that his client would not make any further defamatory posts or remarks against Salman till the next date of hearing.
Salman had filed a defamation complaint against Kamaal R Khan over the latter's review of the just-released Hindi film Radhe.
On Monday, Salman's advocate Pradip Ghandy told Additional Sessions Judge C V Marathe that despite the assurance, Kamaal R Khan continued to publish defamatory tweets.
"This is contempt of court," Pradip Ghandy argued.
An application was then submitted seeking contempt action against Kamaal R Khan. The court heard arguments on the application and posted it for further hearing on June 11.
The court said till then the earlier statement made by Kamaal R Khan's advocate Manoj Gadkari will continue.
