After Sameer Wankhede faced a defeat in Delhi, the High Court has now allowed to take his defamation case against The Ba***ds of Bollywood to Mumbai. The Delhi High Court has permitted IRS officer Sameer Wankhede to take his defamation lawsuit against a Netflix show referencing the Aryan Khan case to a Mumbai court, after holding that the national capital court lacks territorial jurisdiction. The court asked the parties to appear before the Mumbai court on February 12, when Wankhede proposes to institute the suit. Accepting these submissions, Justice Kaurav had earlier ruled that the Delhi High Court could not entertain the suit and ordered the plaint to be returned. With Monday's order, that decision has now been procedurally operationalised, enabling Wankhede to continue his legal challenge in Mumbai.
