Today, On 18th November, the Delhi High Court provided relief to Gautam Gambhir in a cheating case related to a housing project. Gambhir challenged a sessions court’s reversal of a trial court discharge decision. Allegations involve irregularities in the ‘Serra Bella’ project, promoted by companies he was associated with, causing financial losses for homebuyers.
A Delhi court has set aside a prior ruling that dismissed a cheating case against Gautam Gambhir, instructing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to investigate potential money laundering activities. The court found the previous discharge order inadequate, highlighting Gambhir’s financial dealings related to a real estate project and the need for further scrutiny.
The Delhi High Court has referred Gautam Gambhir’s defamation lawsuit against Punjab Kesari and its journalists to mediation, signaling a potential for amicable settlement. The lawsuit arose from allegedly defamatory articles published by the newspaper, prompting Gambhir to seek restraints, an apology, and damages. The move towards mediation signifies the judiciary’s role in resolving such disputes.
