The court, however, said the fact that the actor was a public figure did not mean that she has sacrificed her right to privacy when it was pointed out that certain articles had questioned her parenting in light of the case. The bench did not pass any orders as some of the organisations were not represented and those who were represented informed that they had taken down the content from the digital platforms, to which the court asked them not to upload the same again. A bench of justice Gautam Patel, while hearing the interim application in a defamation suit filed by Shetty, was informed by senior advocate Dr Birendra Saraf and Dr Abhinav Chandrachud that while the actor was not seeking a blanket gag order on the media from reporting anything related to the case of her husband, she sought an interim injunction restraining various media platforms from reporting uncorroborated, defamatory and malicious news about her. Before adjourning the matter, Justice Patel expressed that his concern in the case was only pertaining to the minor children and the media attention they were being subjected to.

Media reports on Shetty’s personal life with her children… in such matters it is the children who are in the centre,” Justice Patel said. The Court adjourned hearing of the plea to October 1, 2021. “You (Shetty) are not going to be able to get a permanent injunction (against media reports) then why are you in a rush? This matter pertaining to Raj Kundra is going to go on for some more time,” Justice Patel said in conclusion.
