Madras High Court Rebukes Mansoor Ali Khan; Says, The Complaint Should Be Filed By Trisha

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.
