Delhi HC quashes summoning order issued against online portal The Wire’s Editor and Deputy Editor in defamation case filed by ex JNU professor Amita Singh.
Singh had alleged that the publication imputed that she prepared dossier depicting JNU is a “Den of Organised Sex Racket”.
Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani quashed the summoning order dated January 07, 2017 issued by a MM Court.
The court observed that it was unable to discern as to how the subject publication can be said to have defamed Singh.
In her complaint, Singh referred to an article published by The Wire and alleged that its Editor did not verify the authenticity of the Dossier and used it for monetary benefits of its magazine, thereby defaming her reputation.
Petitioner: They should atleast give us a 6 month window. After 6 months, the rule can be implemented in a just and fair manner. Technology is always an enabler, it cannot be a disabler.
Over 350 lawyers from #SupremeCourt and various HCs issue a statement condemning the comment of Law Minister Kiren Rijiju that "few retired judges belong to anti-India gang".
"Such hectoring and bullying are unbecoming of the high office held by the Minister", the lawyers say.
"By threatening retired judges, the Law Minister is clearly sending a message to every citizen, that no voice of dissent will be spared.
We may remind the Minister that criticism of the government is neither against the nation, nor unpatriotic, nor “anti-India” "- statement adds
Some of the signatories of the statement. #SupremeCourt
