Court issues notices BJP leaders in Kavitha’s defamation case

Hyderabad, Aug.24 (Maxim News): The 9th Additional Chief Civil Judge of the City Civil Court here on Wednesday issued notices to BJP leaders Parvesh Verma and Manjinder Singh Sirsa in a defamation case filed by TRS MLC K Kavitha.

Both the leaders had earlier dragged Kavitha’s name in the ongoing row over the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

The court, issuing notices to the respondents, passed an injunction order restraining them from making and /or publishing any defamatory or scandalous statements against Kavitha till September 13, said P Mohit Reddy, counsel for the TRS MLC. The court posted the matter to September 13 for hearing.

Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s daughter sought the court to direct the defendants to issue an unconditional apology in public, through social media websites and other forms of print and electronic media.

She prayed the court to grant a perpetual injunction order restraining the defendants from making any defamatory and scandalous statements.

Earlier, responding to the allegations Kavitha said the BJP-led government at the Centre can do whatever investigation is required as the probe agencies are under its control and that she would fully cooperate.

”Today, I want to make it very clear that the allegations that are made against me by the BJP and their party members are completely baseless,” she had told reporters. (Maxim News)
