Defamation Case: Delhi HC Issues Summons To Uddhav, Aditya Thackeray & Sanjay Raut

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday summoned former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, his son Aditya Thackeray, and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut in connection with a defamation suit filed by MP Rahul Ramesh Shewale for allegedly levelling frivolous corruption allegations against him and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction.

Justice Prateek Jalan admitted the defamation suit and issued summons to Uddhav, Aditya, and Raut.

The High Court also ordered Google, Twitter, Uddhav, Aditya, and Raut to file their written responses on the petition for removal of allegedly defamatory material from social media platforms within 30 days.

The case has been scheduled for a hearing on April 17.
