Today, On 1st August, Supreme Court asked BJP leader Rajiv Babbar to withdraw his defamation case against Shashi Tharoor over the ‘scorpion’ remark, saying, “Why get so touchy? Judges and administrators have thick skin.”
The Supreme Court extended the stay on defamation proceedings against Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. This decision came after the complainant’s lawyer requested additional time to submit a counter-affidavit. The case remains pending until further developments. The extension delays further legal action for now.
