The Bombay High Court on Monday quashed and set aside the Order of a single Bench of the HC that had refused to restrain Maharashtra Minister against the Narcotics Control Bureau’s (NCB) zonal director and his family.
A division Bench of Justices S. J. Kathawalla and Milind Jadhav quashed and set aside the Order after Mr. Malik and Mr. consented that the single Bench Order be recalled and , raised through an interim application on his defamation suit filed against Mr. Malik, be heard afresh by the HC.
On November 22, a single Bench of Justice Madhav Jamdar held that though Mr. Malik’s tweets against Mr. Wankhede, particularly those pertaining to allegations of the NCB officer having submitted a false caste certificate to secure the Central government job and having accepted illegal gratification while on duty, had stemmed out of malice, the Minister couldn’t be completely prohibited from making comments against a public officer. Dnyandev then challenged the singe Bench order.
