Punjab CM's Wife Agrees to Remove Former Judge from Defamation Suit
Dr Gurpreet Kaur, wife of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has agreed to remove former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Justice Ranjit Singh's name from her defamation suit. Kaur's counsel stated she was unaware of Singh's full statement when filing the suit and received no response to a legal notice seeking clarification. The removal is conditional on deleting incomplete material published by a TV journalist from social media. Singh's counsel questioned Kaur's inquiry before filing the suit, while Singh maintains he never intended to defame her.
