A Delhi Court has acquitted incumbent Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena in a defamation case filed by social activist Medha Patkar over two decades ago, holding that the allegations were not proved beyond reasonable doubt.
Patkar had alleged that the contents of the advertisement, which reproduced certain documents linked to the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), were false and defamatory.
The defence further contended that the advertisement reproduced two documents linked to NBA.
Notably, the development comes shortly after a related case saw Medha Patkar being acquitted in a defamation complaint filed by Saxena.
