Criminal Defamation Case: Apex Court allows plea of India Today Chairperson

 

On Monday, the Apex Court allowed the appeal of India Today Chairperson Aroon Purie against a criminal defamation complaint filed against him for an alleged defamatory article published in the magazine in 2007.

However, a bench headed by CJI U U Lalit, refused to allow the plea of the journalist who had authored the alleged defamatory article in the India Today magazine.

 

“We have accepted the appeal preferred by Poorie and dismissed the appeal by the journalist. We have allowed the appeal by public servants as well,” said the CJI while pronouncing the verdict.
