Nana Patekar's NGO files defamation suit worth ₹25 cr against Tanushree
By MYBRANDBOOK
Veteran actor Nana Patekar's NGO, NAAM Foundation has filed a defamation suit worth Rs 25 crore against Tanushree Dutta after she defamed the organisation during a press conference in January.
Dutta had accused the veteran actor of harassing her and misbehaving with her while shooting a song for Horn Ok Pleassss in 2008, sparking the #MeToo movement in India.
The Bombay High Court has now forbidden Dutta from making any allegations or remarks against the NGO. As per the press report, the NGO was granted relief by Justice AK Menon since neither Dutta nor her lawyer was present during the court proceedings.
Justice Menon did not refute Naam Foundation's claims but noted allegations against the NGO by Dutta were "defamatory." The court further said there were no indications of the NGO being a "fly-by night operator."
"That pending the hearing and final disposal of the present suit, this Hon’ble Court be pleased to restrain the defendant (Tanushree Dutta) from further publishing or using in any way they said defamatory press conference or its contents to the plaintiff’s reputation with respect to siphoning of funds, bribery, subverting police and judicial system, collecting funds on false pretext, improper maintaining of the plaintiff’s (Naam Foundation) accounts," read the court order.
At the January press conference, Dutta said she had filed a plea challenging the police's closure report of June 2019. The police had told the court there was not enough evidence to prosecute Patekar for sexual harassment.
