The Bombay High Court directs Salman Khan’s neighbour to delete allegedly defamatory comments made against the actor in connection with a property dispute. The court’s order focuses on removal of the content from public platforms where it appears. It also addresses how the content reached those platforms, noting that if the posts were uploaded or circulated by third parties rather than by the neighbour directly, intermediaries are expected to take steps to remove the material.
The court’s direction is framed in terms of ensuring the alleged defamatory content is taken down, while also clarifying the responsibilities of online intermediaries in cases involving third-party uploads. The order reflects the court’s concern with preventing further dissemination of the disputed remarks, regardless of whether the neighbour or another party initially published them.
While the reports describe the directive to remove the comments, they do not indicate, in the available excerpts, the final outcome of the underlying property dispute or the full merits of the defamation allegations.
