The Delhi High Court on August 11 sought journalist Priya Ramani’s stand on former Union Minister M.J. Akbar’s appeal against a trial court order acquitting her in the criminal defamation case filed by him over her allegations of sexual harassment. Justice Mukta Gupta issued notice to Ms. Ramani in the appeal and listed it for further hearing on January 13. Senior advocates Rajiv Nayar and Geeta Luthra, appearing for Mr. Akbar, contended that the trial court erroneously acquitted Ms. Ramani in spite of concluding that her allegations were defamatory in nature.More Related News
