Justice Bhadang had in August begun the hearing on the appeal filed by the actor against a lower court order of March 2022.<\/p>\n

The lower court had refused to restrain Ketan Kakkad, who owns land near Khan’s farmhouse at Panvel, from posting derogatory video posts against the actor.<\/p>\n

It had also refused to direct Kakkad to delete his earlier YouTube videos.<\/p>\n

On October 11, Justice Bhadang closed the matter for orders after arguments were over.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately I am unable to complete the judgment. I tried my level best till last evening. But unfortunately there was vacation and then administrative work, and I had other assignments. I will have to list this as part heard,” the HC judge said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“I understand the apprehension of the parties and that substantial time and efforts went into this. I would have loved to decide this case either way. Unfortunately this came at the fag end of my career,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Bollywood star has filed a defamation suit against Kakkad in the lower court over videos uploaded by Kakkad on social media about Khan’s activities at his farmhouse in Panvel near Mumbai.<\/p>\n

When the civil court refused to pass any interim restraining orders against Kakkad, Khan moved the HC.<\/p>\n

The posts uploaded by Kakkad were not only defamatory but also communal and provocative in nature, his plea said.<\/p>\n

Kakkad’s lawyers Abha Singh and Aditya Singh claimed that the defamation suit was filed by the actor to pressurise their client to give up his land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
