This application has been filed through lawyer Saveena Bedi Sachar and senior counsel Veerendra Tulzapurkar. However, nobody was present before the court from Payal’s side. The Bombay HC has directed the hearing for October 7, 2020, and has also asked for documents to be served again.

Richa Chadha is seeking interim and permanent relief against Payal and others for defaming her name and for “using her name in any defamatory manner whatsoever, in relation to any disputes between Ghosh and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap,” reported Etimes.

In her plea, Richa stated that Ghosh and other have attempted to drag her into these alleged claims against a third person which is not only false, frivolous and vexatious but also done with a motive to damage the immense goodwill she has gained through years of hard work’ in the film industry.

.Chadha further told the court that the loss to her reputation is continuous and irreparable and she had “suffered tremendous humiliation and stress.” Lastly, she said that the “quantum of damages’’ may be increased due to “continue effects’’ of the “defamatory acts.’’
