Bombay High Court asks Salman Khan's neighbour to delete posts against actor on property dispute
The Bombay High Court has advised a neighbor of actor Salman Khan to remove social media posts regarding a property dispute. The court expressed frustration over the use of social media for litigation and suggested legal channels instead.
Why it matters
This case reflects the growing tension between personal property disputes and the reach of social media, as well as the judiciary's struggle to manage online defamation.
