A handicapped woman, who had moved Bombay High Court against Salman Khan accusing him of exploiting her photograph with the actor for publicity of a film, today withdrew her petition after a bench said that it was inclined to dismiss it.
The bench, however, gave Phoolbanoo Bakshi Ilahi the liberty to either file a private criminal complaint before a magistrate or a civil suit for damages and injunction against publication of photograph in a newspaper.
Ilahi withdrew the petition as Justices D B Bhosale and A R Joshi said that they would not issue a direction on her writ.
Alleging defamation, Phoolbanoo had sought damages of Rs 25 lakh from Salman and others. The Court had issued notices to police, Salman, producer Vijay Gilani of Hindi film "Veer", and a city tabloid.
