Suit against SRK, Gauri maintainable in Delhi: HC to Wankhede
Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 27, 2025
The Delhi high court on Friday questioned the maintainability of the defamation suit filed by former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede against Red Chillies Entertainment limited owned by actor Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan claiming that a law enforcement officer portrayed in the series “Ba***ds of Bollywood” is based on him.
The court asked Wankhede to amend the suit, justifying as to why it should be entertained.
A bench of justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav issued the direction, even as Wankhede's lawyer Sandeep Sethi, submitted that the Delhi high court has jurisdiction since the series has been viewed in Delhi, and posts and reactions targeting Wankhede came from people in Delhi.
“Your complaint is not maintainable here in Delhi. Mr Sethi, look at the cause of action jurisdiction. Had your case been that ‘I've been defamed at various places including Delhi and maximum damage has occurred in Delhi’, we would have understood and still considered the matter here in Delhi,” justice Kaurav said to Sethi.
