Delhi HC upholds Medha Patkar’s conviction in LG defamation case, says no illegality in trial court order
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday upheld activist Medha Patkar’s conviction in a defamation case filed by Delhi LG V K Saxena.
Justice Shalinder Kaur ruled that the trial court’s decision, which Patkar had challenged, showed no signs of legal error and did not warrant any intervention.
“Upon perusal this court finds no illegality in the order (by trial court) and requires no interference, and accordingly dismissed,” Justice Kaur said.
LG Saxena had filed the case 23 years ago when he was heading an NGO in Gujarat.
