The
Bombay
High
Court
has
censured
Kamal
Rashid
Khan
alias
KRK
for
his
controversial
and
defamatory
tweets
against
producer
Vashu
Bhagnani,
his
family,
his
business,
his
profession
as
well
as
all
his
projects.
KRK
has
been
stopped
by
the
Bombay
High
Court
from
putting
out
any
further
tweets
against
Vashu
Bhagnani
and
all
his
business
interests
till
the
pendency
of
the
Rs.
One
crore
defamation
suit
filed
by
the
veteran
producer
for
defamatory',
'slanderous',
and
'distasteful'
statements
as
well
as
'patently
false
allegations'
on
KRK's
Twitter
and
YouTube
accounts.
As
per
the
court
order,
an
injunction
has
been
issued,
pending
the
final
disposal
of
the
suit,
that
in
simple
terms,
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.
