Madras
High
Court
Rebukes
Mansoor
Ali
Khan:
The
Madras
High
Court
made
significant
remarks
regarding
the
ongoing
dispute
between
actress
Trisha
and
actor
Mansoor
Ali
Khan.
The
court
highlighted
that
Trisha
should
have
initiated
legal
action
against
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
for
his
controversial
speech
and
emphasised
the
importance
of
public
conduct
for
public
figures.
This
legal
feud
emerged
when
Trisha,
alongside
actors
Kushboo
and
Chiranjeevi,
condemned
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
contentious
comments
against
her.
Their
unified
stand
led
to
the
actors'
union
demanding
an
apology
from
Mansoor
Ali
Khan.
Initially,
following
a
case
registered
against
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
on
the
National
Commission
for
Women's
recommendation,
the
actor
publicly
apologised
to
Trisha.
Subsequently,
Trisha
acknowledged
his
apology
in
a
post.
However,
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
later
retracted
his
apology,
claiming
his
comments
were
in
jest.
He
filed
a
defamation
suit
against
Trisha,
Kushboo,
and
Chiranjeevi
in
the
Madras
High
Court,
seeking
hefty
damages
and
alleging
defamation
based
on
a
partial
understanding
of
the
video.
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
Should
Know
How
To
Behave
In
Public
During
the
court
proceedings,
Judge
N.
Satish
Kumar
rebuked
Mansoor
Ali
Khan,
questioning
his
behaviour
and
the
inconsistency
in
his
stance.
The
judge
highlighted
the
responsibility
of
public
figures
and
criticised
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
continued
controversial
conduct,
querying
the
need
for
press
conferences
and
urging
guidance
on
public
behaviour.
Addressing
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
claim
of
innocence,
the
judge
noted
his
earlier
unconditional
apology
to
evade
arrest,
prompting
Khan's
lawyer
to
request
the
submission
of
the
entire
video
and
the
removal
of
Trisha's
posts.
Trisha's
counsel,
K.V.
Babu,
highlighted
that
the
matter
seemed
resolved
with
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
prior
apology
and
Trisha's
silence
on
the
issue.
The
court
directed
Trisha,
Kushboo,
and
Chiranjeevi
to
respond
to
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
petition,
adjourning
the
hearing
until
December
22.
