By Mustafa Shaikh: On Monday, Rahul Narain Kanal, a close aide of Aaditya Thackeray, and Shiv Sena (UBT) functionary, said he would move the Bombay High Court against BJP MLA Nitesh Rane for his slanderous comments against Kanal.
Earlier, Kanal issued a defamation notice against Rane for his alleged statements on Twitter related to the Income Tax (I-T) searches at Kanal’s premises in 2022.
“I hereby call him to recall his utterances within 48 hours of the said press note, failure to do so, shall drive me to approach Hon’ble Bombay High Court and enforce reliefs therein,” a statement from Kanal on Monday read. Kanal further said: “Rane has been relentlessly defaming, maligning, and associating me on non-issues and levelling unwarranted allegations without any basis.”
“I hereby state on record that, on an earlier occasion, I had admonished Mr Nitesh Rane through a legal notice to refrain from commenting on my character in media or otherwise however there is no scope of correction at his instance,” read the press note.
On March 15, 2022, Kanal’s lawyer Soheb Shaikh issued a notice to Rane and asked him to immediately delete the defamatory tweets and tender an unconditional apology within 48 hours.
The notice said that he would urge the courts to direct Nitesh Rane to give monthly remuneration as damages to the Salian family.
“I have further requested my legal team to charge the defamation charges and thereby give a monthly consideration to the respected families from whom they have gained their personal and politicalâæ God is Great !!! Satyameva Jayate,” Kanal tweeted.
