Overview
- Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav reserved the interim injunction order after hearing Sameer Wankhede, Red Chillies Entertainment and Netflix.
- Wankhede seeks removal of a specific excerpt from Episode 1 (32:02–33:50), Rs 2 crore in damages to be donated to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital, and permanent injunctions against multiple platforms.
- The court will decide whether the suit can proceed in Delhi and whether the challenged depiction, viewed in full context, amounts to actionable harm.
- Wankhede’s counsel argued for Delhi jurisdiction citing ongoing departmental proceedings in the city, relatives and media presence there, alleged targeted malice tied to prior history, and claimed irreparable harm from continued availability.
- Red Chillies and Netflix opposed jurisdiction and an interim takedown, arguing the suit belongs in Mumbai, the show is fictional satire and dark comedy, and the referenced allegations have been publicly discussed since 2022.
