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.

#DelhiHighCourt #JNU #TheWire
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.
The dossier was published in an article titled “Dossier Calls JNU "Den of Organised Sex Racket"; Students, Professors Allege "Hate Campaign" on April 26, 2016.

Quashing the summoning order, the court observed that there is nothing that could be taken to be defamatory.

“Manish Sisodia Played Vital Role Behind Delhi Liquor Policy Scam, Payment Of
Advance Kickbacks Of Around Rs. 90-100 crores Was Meant For Him”: Delhi Court while denying bail to former Deputy CM.

#ManishSisodia Image
In the bail order running into 34 pages, Special judge MK Nagpal has said that evidence not only shows Sisodia’s active participation in the criminal conspiracy, but also the prima facie commission of some substantive offences of the PC Act by him.

#ManishSisodia #DelhiCourt
Court: There is also nothing apparent on record to infer or show that arrest was illegal or violative of any directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court or Hon'ble High Courts and rather, the material placed before this court by the CBI justifies the arrest of applicant in the case.

#AmrutaFadnavis #AnilJaisinghani @fadnavis_amruta #BombayHighCourt Image
Adv for Jaisinghani - I am a proclaimed offender.... Because the complaint is filed by the Dy CM and former CM of Maharashtra therefore the Advocate General had to appear in this case. Otherwise any prosecutor could have appeared.

#AmrutaFadnavis #AnilJaisinghani
