‘Gag Order’ For Nawab Malik, Not To Post Anything On Wankhede Family Till Dec 9

Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik told the Bombay High Court on Thursday that he will not post anything against Dhyandev Wankhede, father of NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede, and his family members till December 9.

While refusing to pass a blanket injunction on Malik on a fresh appeal by Dhyandev, the division bench of Justices SJ Kathawalla and Madhav Jamdar had asked him to conduct adequate verification of all information before posting them online.

“One page he is making a statement, next page he is giving proof. Why is a minister acting like this? There is a forum for caste certificate validity. Anyone can go there. What is the point of the tweets? This seems to be for media publicity.. and after your son-in-law was arrested,” the Bench said.

Malik’s advocate Karl Tamboly also told the court that he was willing to stop tweeting till the pendency of the suit. However, Malik will be filing an appeal against certain portions of the November 22 high court order, he added.

Notably, the NCP leader took to Twitter on Thursday morning and shared documents pertaining to the NCB zonal director’s mother Zaheda Bano’s death. While in her death certificate, her religion has been mentioned as Hindu, another cemetery document mentioned her religion as Muslim.

“One more forgery. Muslim for the last rites and Hindu on government documents?” the Maharashtra minister wrote on the micro-blogging site.
