Bombay HC Restrains Vidnyan Mane, Calls Remarks Against Palash Muchhal Prima Facie Defamatory

The court labeled Mane’s interview remarks prima facie defamatory, setting a two‑week reply deadline with the case listed for March 11.

Overview

  • Justice Milind Jadhav’s February 11 ad‑interim order bars Mane from making, repeating, or republishing statements like those in recent interviews about Muchhal and his mother.
  • Mane must file a reply within two weeks after notices were issued to the defendants, with the next hearing scheduled for March 11 in the Bombay High Court.
  • The restraint order stems from Muchhal’s ₹10 crore defamation suit seeking damages and a permanent injunction over interviews amplified across media and social platforms.
  • Mane has separately complained to Sangli police that he paid about ₹40 lakh toward Muchhal’s film project Nazariya and was cheated when the project did not materialise.
  • The court noted Mane’s references to the called‑off November 2025 wedding as irrelevant to the commercial dispute, while Muchhal publicly denied all allegations.
