SC refuses permission to print Shilpa story18 Dec 2007, 0217 hrs IST,TNN
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has refused to grant permission to a magazine to reprint details of the personal life of actress Shilpa Shetty, much before she caught international media attention for being part of a British TV reality show. Three articles on Shetty's personal life were published by a film magazine. She had slapped a Rs 20 crore damage suit against the publication and the Bombay High Court had restrained the publishers from re-printing these articles which alleged that the actress was having "a relationship with other actors or a married man". The publishers had in 2002 appealed in SC against the HC order, which had further clarified that a person couldn't be defamed by allowing re-publication of the alleged articles in future. Refusing to alter the HC order, an SC Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat and P Sathasivam asked the HC to explore possibility of early disposal of suit filed by Shetty in 2001.
