A Delhi court on 23rd November restrained the makers of Chanda: A Signature That Ruined A Career from screening or marketing the film as the contents of the film had the potential to prejudicially affect the reputation of Chanda Kochhar, former MD and CEO of ICICI Bank. Chanda had moved the court, stating that the film, made without her consent, was defamatory in nature.
Additional district judge Sandeep Garg observed that Kochhar had made out a strong prima facie case in her favour. The plea made by Chanda Kochhar mentioned that the mental suffering and agony caused to the plaintiff was beyond exact calculation and she reserved her right to sue for damages.
