Kumar Sanu Gets Interim Relief In Rs 50 Cr Defamation Case; Bombay HC Bars Ex-Wife Rita Bhattacharya From Public Remarks

The Bombay High Court has directed Kumar Sanu’s ex-wife, Rita Bhattacharya, to refrain from making any further defamatory statements or giving contentious interviews about the singer. Kumar Sanu recently secured a significant victory in his Rs 50 crore defamation case against Rita Bhattacharya, with the court imposing a gag order to prevent her from speaking out against him.

Bombay HC Bars Kumar Sanu’s Ex-Wife From Making Any Public Comments

On Wednesday, the court granted interim relief in the case, with Justice Milind Jadhav issuing a temporary order that restrains Rita and certain media outlets from publishing, speaking, or disseminating any false, defamatory, or slanderous remarks about Kumar Sanu or his family in any form or medium. The court observed that Rita’s previous interviews went beyond fair comment and included personal tirades against the singer. Justice Jadhav stated, “There is a clear personal tirade against Sanu in some of the interviews, which is prima facie qualified by the words used therein.”

The court also issued an injunction preventing her from posting or circulating any allegedly defamatory or misleading content about Kumar Sanu on social media, print, or digital platforms until the matter is further addressed. During the hearing, Sanu’s lawyer, Sana Raees Khan, argued that Rita’s statements had caused him substantial financial and personal harm. However, the court declined her request to have the existing interviews deleted. It noted that this issue would be considered after receiving responses from Rita and other defendants. The next hearing is scheduled for January 28.

About Rs 50 Cr Defamation Case

Last year, Kumar Sanu filed a Rs 50 crore defamation suit against Rita Bhattacharya in the Bombay High Court. He claimed her statements damaged his reputation. In interviews with Viral Bhayani and Film Window, Rita alleged that Sanu mistreated her during her pregnancy. She also alleged that he deprived her of food and medical care. Sanu’s legal team has denied these allegations, asserting they are false and malicious.

The suit further states that their 2001 divorce agreement included a clause prohibiting either party from making adverse allegations against the other. Sanu contends that Rita has violated this agreement. Rita and Kumar Sanu were married in 1986 but separated seven years later. Their divorce was finalized in 2001, and they have three sons.
