Vacation Bench of single-judge Justice Madhav Jamdar to hear on:
- interim relief of deletion of alleged defamatory statements in electronic and social media
- temporary injunction restraining #NawabMalik from publishing or speaking in any media

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt
Advocate Ashraf Shaikh appearing for Wankhede: Everyday something or the other is posted hence I am here.

Court: Is reply filed?

Senior Advocate Atul Damle: We have been served with the suit only day before.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Shaikh: I am aware in these kind of matters reply is requirerd. But he may just speak to his client and propose to not post or say anything and create further problem.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Damle: I do not have instructions to make such statements. Milords may keep this on Friday, till then nothing is going to happen.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Shaikh: I am only saying that he should not say anything till reply is filed. Let me show you, as of this morning, he has put a tweet supposedly about Sameer Wankhede’s sister in law.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Damle: There are some considerations. This suit is by the father, he is speaking on behalf of his adult children.

Shaikh: Look at the effect of the defamatory tweets. There are comments on twitter.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Damle: But how can you attribute something to me which is said by someone else?

Shaikh: But that is what I am saying, the effect, what you are doing is lowering the reputation of my client in the eyes of public.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Court: You do one thing, you file reply tomorrow. And I am keeping matter on November 10.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Damle: Milord may keep for reply day after and then for hearing.

Shaikh: Since he is not willing to make a statement, he should then file reply.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik
Matter to be heard on November 10, 2021.

#SameerWankhede #BombayHighCourt #NawabMalik

The matter was mentioned by Senior Advocate
Sidharth Luthra before the Bench of Justices L. Nageswara Rao and Abhay S. Oka, who queried Luthra in a lighter vein that effectively the writ Petitions are infructuous with the physical opening of all the Courts.
Luthra: This Court would be the last Court to make access to Virtual Courts through Hybrid Mode infructuous as we have filed the Petition on the basis of the directives issued by the E-Committee of this Court itself to all High Courts.

It had also questioned the state government as to why there are very few witnesses in the case when hundreds of farmers were present at the rally
Sr Adv Harish Salve: Does the bench have the updated statement?

CJI: There is nothing in it apart from saying that more witness has been examined. 10 days time was granted, lab reports have not come

Salve: they say its 15th, its beyond our control
