Delhi High Court Quashes Criminal Defamation Case Against Advocate Pinaki Misra
The Delhi High Court quashed criminal defamation proceedings against senior advocate and former MP Pinaki Misra, citing insufficient evidence that alleged remarks damaged the complainant's reputation. The court noted the complainant was the sole witness and lacked material from others to support the claim. Misra denied giving the alleged interview. The court set aside the trial court's summoning order, stating continuing the case would not serve justice and would subject Misra to undue trial rigors.
