Delhi HC to hear BJP leader's plea against CM Atishi in defamation case on February 3

The Hindu  

The Delhi High Court will hear a BJP leader's plea challenging an order dismissing his defamation case against Chief Minister Atishi on Monday. In his plea, Praveen Shankar Kapoor said while rejecting the defamation complaint and quashing the summons issued by a magisterial court, the special judge went "beyond" the scope of his power in law. According to the complaint filed by the former media head and spokesperson of Delhi BJP, Ms. Atishi levelled "baseless" allegations in a press conference held on January 27, 2024, and later on April 2, 2024, accusing the BJP of approaching AAP MLAs and offering them bribes to the tune of ₹20-25 crore for switching sides. On January 28, Special Judge Vishal Gogne held that the allegations levelled by Ms. Atishi constituted the exercise of the right to freedom of speech concerning political corruption, and not defamation.
