Alok Nath's wife's plea rejected by Mumbai Court

Earlier this month, Nath filed defamation suit against Vinta Nanda, who accused him of rape

A Mumbai sessions court on Thursday rejected Alok Nath's wife's plea seeking injunction order to Vinta Nanda that she should not give interviews or speak against him, reported Hindustan Times.

Earlier this month, Nath had filed a civil defamation suit against the famed writer-producer, who accused him of rape. The actor had sought a written apology, along with a compensation of Rs 1.

While hearing the case on October 17, a Mumbai court didn't pass an interim order and allowed Nanda to use social media to comment on her rape and sexual assault allegations against Nath. She had also lodged a complaint against the actor for allegedly sexually harassing her in the 90s.

In the wake of ongoing #MeToo movement, Nanda had accused Nath of rape and narrated her horrifying ordeal in a Facebook post. She was the writer and producer of teleserial Tara in the 90s, in which the Hum Saath Saath Hain actor played a lead role.

Following the allegations, the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) had issued a notice to the veteran actor, seeking his stand on the rape allegations made against him.
