Delhi High Court Issues Notices in Defamation Case by Women Army Officers
The Delhi High Court has issued notices to a retired Colonel, a woman lawyer, and several anonymous X accounts in response to a defamation suit filed by two serving women Colonels of the Indian Army. The officers seek Rs 2.01 crore in damages, alleging a year-long social media campaign portraying them and other women commanders as corrupt and incompetent.
