It
was
earlier
reported
that
superstar
Salman
Khan
had
filed
a
defamation
suit
against
a
Malad
resident
named
Ketan
Kakkad
who
owns
a
plot
on
the
hill
which
is
located
next
to
the
actor's
farmhouse
in
Panvel.
The
actor
and
his
advocate
Pradeep
Gandhy
have
been
fighting
the
case
against
Kakkad.
Now,
the
latest
development
from
the
hearing
of
the
case
which
was
on
Thursday
(January
20)
suggests
that
Salman's
advocate
has
called
the
allegations
by
Kakkad
against
the
actor
to
be
baseless
and
wild.
For
the
unversed,
Ketan
Kakkad
had
purchased
a
plot
of
land
in
Panvel
that
was
located
close
to
Salman
Khan's
farmhouse
in
the
year
1995.
In
the
legal
suit,
the
Hum
Saath
Saath
Hain
actor's
advocate
had
stated
that
the
Maharashtra
government
had
cancelled
Kakkad's
land
as
illegal.
But
in
his
allegations,
the
actor's
neighbour
mentioned
that
his
land
was
allegedly
announced
illegal
and
was
cancelled
by
the
forest
department
under
the
instruction
of
Salman.
Ketan
Kakkad
had
further
alleged
that
Salman
Khan
had
constructed
a
gate
and
had
thus
blocked
the
only
entry
and
exit
to
his
land.
Kakkad
furthermore
claimed
that
the
Tiger
Zinda
Hai
actor
constructed
an
eco-friendly
temple.
However,
he
added
that
the
gates
to
the
temple
were
blocked
by
the
actor
and
that
it
was
claimed
entirely
by
him.
The
actor's
neighbour
also
accused
him
of
grabbing
his
land
for
himself.
On
this,
advocate
Pradeep
Gandhy
on
behalf
of
Salman
Khan
said,
"In
a
property
dispute,
why
are
you
tarnishing
my
personal
reputation?
Why
are
you
bringing
in
religion?
My
mother
is
a
Hindu,
my
father
is
a
Muslim
and
my
brothers
have
married
Hindus.
We
celebrate
all
festivals." Furthermore,
Gandhy
also
spoke
on
behalf
of
the
Hum
Apke
Hai
Kon
actor
on
the
allegations
by
Kakkad
on
the
actor
meeting
politicians.
On
this,
Salman
said,
"I
(Salman
Khan)
have
no
political
aspirations,
I
have
never
met
with
politicians."
The
defamation
suit
was
filed
by
Salman
Khan
on
Ketan
Kakkad
as
he
alleged
that
Kakkad
had
given
out
defamatory
statements
against
him
in
an
interview
with
a
Youtuber.
The
defamation
suit
further
mentioned
the
two
other
people
in
the
interview
along
with
sites
like
Youtube,
Google,
Facebook
and
Twitter.
Anil
H
Laddha,
the
Additional
Sessions
Judge
has
asked
for
the
official
property
papers
or
the
map
of
the
land
to
verify
the
facts
and
the
next
hearing
will
be
taking
place
on
January
21,
2022.
