The Bombay High Court has censured Kamal Rashid Khan alias KRK for his controversial and defamatory tweets towards producer Vashu Bhagnani, his household, his enterprise, his occupation in addition to all his tasks

KRK has been stopped by the Bombay High Court from placing out any additional tweets towards Vashu Bhagnani and all his enterprise pursuits until the pendency of the Rs. One crore defamation swimsuit filed by the veteran producer for defamatory’, ‘slanderous’, and ‘distasteful’ statements in addition to ‘patently false allegations’ on KRK’s Twitter and YouTube accounts.

As per the courtroom order, an injunction has been issued, pending the ultimate disposal of the swimsuit, that in easy phrases, prohibits “the defendant from publishing, circulating or repeating the allegations and tweets and/or making, publishing, circulating and/or communicating to the public any defamatory/slanderous comments and/or statements against the plaintiff and/or his family and/or his business, profession and/or his projects.

“Social media is a very powerful tool, which on many occasions is misused to defame reputed persons. Courts have time and again deprecated such misuse. This is yet another occasion where the Hon’ble Bombay High Court has passed an order restraining Kamaal Khan from making slanderous and defamatory remarks against Mr. Vashu Bhagnani, his family members, his business, and his projects. This is the third order of Bombay High Court against Mr. Khan in succession” Ameet Naik – Founder and Managing Partner – Naik Naik & Company.

After hearing the matter at length, the court observed that the tweets are not in the nature of criticism given by a film critic, which is contrary to the defence of KRK and are in the nature of serious defamatory and slanderous remarks made against Vashu Bhagnani, his family members, his business, profession and his projects.

The court’s actions came soon after KRK made light of the suit and put out another series of slanderous tweets against the Bhagnanis. The producer was represented in court by advocates Ameet Naik, Virendra Tulzapurkar, Rashmin Khandekar, and Madhu Gadodia.
