On Friday, the Delhi High Court questioned ex-NCB, Indian Revenue Service officer Sameer Wankhede for the maintainability of his defamation suit filed against Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Netflix, which is in connection with Aryan Khan's series The Ba***ds of Bollywood.

As Bar & Bench reported, Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav asked Wankhede how his suit was maintainable in Delhi and whether the cause of action arose in the national capital.

On behalf of Wankhede, senior advocate Sandeep Sethi said, "It is seen by viewers in Delhi. Insofar as the web series is published for viewing in Delhi, I am defamed." Then, the Court asked Wankhede to amend his plaint to show that a cause of action was made out in Delhi.
