NEW DELHI: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Tuesday told the Delhi High Court that she did not wish to press the interim application against various media outlets and social media platforms at this point in her defamation suit against BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai. Moitra had moved the high court against Dubey, Dehadrai, 15 media organisations and three social media intermediaries following what she alleged were false and defamatory accusations against her.
Justice Sachin Datta, who presided over the case, was also informed that no interim relief is being pressed in the matter on Tuesday against Dubey and Dehadrai. During a brief hearing, Dubey’s counsel, Advocate Abhimanyu Bhandari argued that Moitra has committed perjury and that she also shared her Parliament login credentials. Meanwhile, the court asked Moitra’s lawyer to file an amended memo of parties and re-notified the matter for hearing next on December 5. (IANS)
