New Delhi: Delhi High Court has refused to stay the trial court proceedings against Bharatiya Janata Party national secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa in a criminal defamation case filed by former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president, Manjit Singh GK.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma stated that prima facie, there was no infirmity in the order passed by the magistrate summoning Sirsa or the sessions court order dismissing a revision petition filed by the BJP leader against the magistrate’s order.
“Thus, upon a prima facie examination of the impugned order and without going much into the merits of the case, lest it affects the case of the petitioner or respondent no. 2 (the complainant) at a later stage before this court or trial court, this court finds that the learned ASJ has examined in detail, the issue of registration of FIR in relation to letter dated April 4, 2016 and simultaneous proceedings in the present complaint case for commission of offence of defamation, and at this stage, this court does not find any reasons to stay the proceedings in the present complaint case,” said the single judge bench.
On June 30 last year, the court of additional sessions judge (ASJ) Harjeet Singh Jaspal issued summons to Sirsa, Harmeet Singh Kalka and Jagdeep Singh Kahlon in the case. TNN
