Holding that prima facie a news channel had telecast defamatory allegations against actor Salman Khan, the Bombay High Court today restrained it from telecasting such items.

Justice S J Kathawalla was hearing a suit filed by Salman seeking a written apology from ABP News channel for telecasting a news item allegedly defamatory to the actor.

Salman approached the high court seeking an injunction on broadcast or telecast of such defamatory news items and direction to the channel to either submit a written apology or telecast an apology.
