Delhi High Court has reserved its order on IRS officer Sameer Wankhede’s plea seeking removal of allegedly defamatory scenes from a Netflix series. Arguments focused on jurisdiction, online publications, and claims of “irreparable harm” to Wankhede’s reputation.
On Wednesday(10th July),The Gujarat High Court overturned a decision allowing Abdul Latif’s heirs to join a Rs 101 crore defamation suit against Shah Rukh Khan and Red Chillies Entertainment. Originally filed by Latif’s son, the suit escalated after his death, with the court later permitting his widow and daughters to join as plaintiffs. The High Court annulled the decision, ruling that the “right to sue” does not survive for the deceased’s heirs.
