Bombay HC Restrains Nirupam Over 'Housing Jihad' Claims
The Bombay High Court told Sanjay Nirupam he can't say bad things about a builder.
Nirupam had said Muslim builders were trying to take over Mumbai's housing, which the court found to be untrue.
The builder went to court because of these comments.
The court said Nirupam didn't seem to care about the court process.
So, the court told him to stop making those claims for now and will hear the case again later.
Bombay High Court restrained Sanjay Nirupam from making defamatory statements.
Nirupam accused Muslim-owned firms of a 'housing jihad' in redevelopment projects.
The court's order came after a builder filed an application citing the allegations.
The court noted Nirupam avoided hearings and showed disrespect for proceedings.
Court found the allegations 'prima facie false' and issued a temporary injunction.
