Sooraj Pancholi strikes back, files CONTEMPT PETITION against Rabia!

Actor Sooraj Pancholi has filed a contempt petition against Jiah Khan's mother Rabia Khan.

Actor Sooraj Pancholi and his family knocked the door of Bombay High Court against his late ex - girlfriend Jiah Khan's mother for damaging their public image. They filed a petition asking the court to restrict Rabia to make any statements on any media that might harm their image.

The court hearing was scheduled for December 22, however, but couldn't be heard due to business hours. Now, as the holidays are on, the hearing might happen after the court reopens. According to report on popular daily, Lawyer of Pancholi family was quoted saying, "The Rs 100-crore defamation suit was filed a couple of years ago. Rabia had given her word to the court, through her counsel, that she will not use any defamatory language on any social media or print media platforms and hence, the notice of motion was disposed off in favour of the Pancholis. But her interviews and tweets haven't quite stopped. In fact, they were found to be quite defamatory, which compelled the Pancholis to file a Contempt of Court petition a few weeks ago. Looking at the sensitivity of the matter, we were provided a production date when we asked for it on Wednesday (December 21, 2016). The proceedings couldn't happen on Thursday, but will happen as soon as the court reopens in January 2017. We are seeking relief against her. Rabia must publicly apologise for this, if found guilty by the court. Our stand is simple: whatever the verdict in the entire matter, one must have faith in the law. No one has the right to defame the other. Unlawful language is not permissible, whatever the merits of the case." (sic)

While Rabia Khan's lawyer says, "There is no substance in their (Pancholis') petition. The lady has only been seeking fair investigation in the matter. And, they have not been able to show what the defamatory material is. As per us, this is nothing but a way of deviating from the main matter." (sic)
