Mumbai: Actor Salman Khan has filed Short Cause civil suit against his Panvel farmouse neighbour Ketan Kakkad and others before the City Civil Court for interim orders to restrain them from making “false, disparaging and defamatory allegations in videos/posts/tweets’’ which the actor claimed is causing him and his family members“ grave harm, loss and prejudice’’.

Khan’s lawyer Pradeep Ghandy sought urgent ad-interim relief on Friday before the court. However, Advocates Abha Singh and Aditya Pratap appearing for Kakkad opposed such a plea and others sought time to take instructions and file their replies as they said the copy of his plaint was served on them only on Thursday.

The Court of Additional Sessions Judge Anil Laddhad adjourned the hearing to 20th January 2022and directed the Defendants to file their replies by then.
