Mumbai: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has filed a defamation suit seeking Rs 100 crore in damages from his brother Shamasuddin for posting alleged defamatory statements against him on social media. Following this, the Bombay High Court has directed both the brothers not to post or upload any remarks against each other on social media for the “sake of maintaining equity” and in light of efforts to amicably resolve issues between them.

A single bench of Justice RI Chagla gave the direction while hearing the suit filed by the 48-year-old actor. The bench directed the brothers to remain present in his chambers along with their lawyers on May 3 to explore the possibility of an amicable settlement.

The suit has also named the actor’s ex-wife Zainab, but on Wednesday Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s counsel Abhinav Chandrachud told the court that said since the former couple was trying to resolve their issues amicably the actor did not wish to pursue the defamation suit against her, NDTV reported.

Advocate Rumi Mirza, appearing for Shamasuddin Siddiqui, told the high court that settlement talks are going on between Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his ex-wife due to the intervention of a division bench of the high court and that with the help of this bench, a similar arrangement could take place between the warring brothers.

Chandrachud said any talks between the brothers could begin only when Shamasuddin Siddiqui takes down his defamatory posts in which the award-winning actor has been allegedly called a “rapist and molester”.

Meanwhile, a division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Sharmila Deshmukh was on Wednesday informed that the discord between the ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ actor and his ex-wife Zainab over education of their two minor children has been resolved.

The court was told the children would be travelling back to Dubai to attend their school, the report added.
