Court Summons Four BJP Leaders Including Delhi Unit Chief Adesh Gupta In Criminal Defamation Case By Delhi Jal Board

Live Law  

A Delhi Court has summoned four BJP leaders including its Delhi Unit President Adesh Gupta in a criminal defamation complaint filed by Delhi Jal Board and its Vice Chairman Raghav Chadha. "In view of allegations made in complaint, testimonies of CW1 to CW4 and material brought on record by them this court is prima facie satisfied that there are sufficient grounds for summoning of all respondents as accused qua offence punishable u/s 500 r/w Sec.34 IPC," Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Dharmender Singh ordered. It was the case of the complainants that in January this year, a Press Conference was held by Adesh Gupta, Ramvir Singh and Harish Khurana wherein allegations were leveled that the complainants had committed the scam of Rs.26,000 crore and referred to the Delhi Jal Board as "Dalali Jal Board". "In the present case, respondents held two Press Conferences, made tweets which were conveyed to public through social media, print media and visible representation and words/ statements which were spoken/made in said Press Conferences and later published in print and social media and represented by way of large boards mounted across the Delhi clearly show that allegations of corruption have been levelled against complainants and as per testimony of CW1 and CW3 made on oath, these allegations are false and concocted and have been made only to defame the complainants and to gain political mileage," the Court said.
