The Bombay high court on April 12 directed Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his brother to remain present on May 3 to explore the chances of a settlement between them. Justice Riyaz Chagla also asked the brothers not to put defamatory posts against each other on social media.
The judge was hearing a Rs. 100 crore defamation suit filed by Nawazuddin against Shamsuddin and his estranged wife, Zainab. The judge was told that settlement talks were on between the couple due to the intervention of a division bench, and may be done similarly for the brothers as well.
