The Delhi High Court has issued a final warning to NGO Justice on Trial for repeatedly delaying its ₹10,000 crore defamation case against the BBC over a controversial documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding arguments on maintainability.
The Supreme Court deferred its hearing on petitions challenging the Centre’s ban on the BBC documentary “India: The Modi Question” until January 2025. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta assured the court that a counter affidavit would be submitted within two weeks. The government labeled the documentary as biased propaganda.
