Mumbai, Feb 07: Superstar Shahrukh Khan has filed a suit in the Bombay High Court claiming damages to the tune of Rs. 10 lakhs from a real estate agent for falsely implicating him in a cheating case and defaming him in the media.
The suit is slated to come up for hearing on March 7 before justice D G Karnik. The actor yesterday moved a notice of motion before Justice S F Vajifdar, seeking an injunction to restrain the estate agent, Anees Ahmed, from making any statements against him in the print or electronic media.
The notice of motion was opposed by the defendent's counsel Waris Pathan. Justice Vajifdar asked the actor's counsel to explain under what law such an injunction could be issued to the defendent. The matter has been adjourned to February 11 as Shahrukh Khan's counsel sought time to cite case laws in this regard.
In another development, the high court would on Monday hear Shahrukh's petition challenging a magistrate's order which issued bailable warrant against him in the cheating filed by the estate agent over a property transaction. Anees Ahmed had claimed that the actor had not paid him brokerage for a purchase of a flat. Bureau Report
