NBA leader Medha Patkar withdrew her plea in the Supreme Court against Delhi LG V K Saxena in a 25-year-old defamation case. The court said the matter needed closure and refused relief on her request to examine more witnesses.
The Delhi High Court has postponed arguments on Medha Patkar’s appeal against her 2001 defamation conviction by LG VK Saxena, with hearings now scheduled for July 14 and 15. Patkar’s conviction and sentence were previously stayed, allowing her release after an interim bail. She challenges both the guilty verdict and compensation order.
