The Delhi High Court issued summons and notices on a defamation suit filed by IRS officer Sameer Wankhede seeking an injunction and takedown of his alleged portrayal in Aryan Khan’s Netflix-directed series ‘The Ba**ds of Bollywood’.*
The matter came up before Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, who directed Netflix to take instructions and file its reply. Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi, appearing for Wankhede, argued that the series has led to trolling of Wankhede and his family.
Opposing the plea, Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayyar, representing Netflix, questioned the maintainability of the suit in Delhi. The Court, while declining to grant a general injunction at this stage, scheduled the next hearing for October 30.
