Salman Khan moves court against neighbour

Bollywood actor Salman Khan on Saturday moved the city civil and session court against his neighbour who allegedly made false, and defamatory allegations against actor.

According to reports on Saturday the actor filed a Short Cause civil suit against his Panvel farmhouse neighbour Ketan Kakkad and others seeking interim orders to restrain them from making "false, disparaging and defamatory allegations against him".

In the plea actor claimed that the allegations are causing him and his family "grave harm, loss and prejudice '.

When the matter came up for hearing before the City Civil Court a battery of lawyer who appeared for Khan urged the court for a grant of an injunction.

However, advocates Abha Singh and Aditya Pratap representing Kakkad opposed it by stating that they received the papers on Thursday and were unable to go through the entire suit. They therefore sought more time to file the replies.

The Court of Additional Sessions Judge Anil Laddhad refuses to grant an injunction but granted time to the advocates to file a reply on Kakkad's behalf and adjourned the hearing till January 21.
