A Delhi court dismissed Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit’s defamation complaint against AAP leaders Atishi and Sanjay Singh, stating no valid grounds for proceeding. The judge, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Paras Dalal, noted there was insufficient evidence of defamation. Dikshit had sought Rs 10 crore in damages, claiming reputational harm.
The Supreme Court today upheld the Delhi LG’s authority to appoint aldermen for the MCD, leading to criticism from AAP’s Sanjay Singh, who called it undemocratic. In contrast, Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit supported the ruling, accusing AAP of ignorance or deceit. The decision has sparked a debate on democratic principles and the court’s rebuke of AAP.
