The Delhi High Court on Thursday stayed trial court proceedings against BJP leaders Hans Raj Hans and Manjinder Singh Sirsa in a defamation case filed by Delhi deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
The Delhi High Court judge Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma issued notice on the pleas by both BJP leaders challenging the trial court order summoning them in the defamation case.
Delhi deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had filed the case against these BJP leaders in 2019 for alleging corruption of nearly Rs 2,000 crore in the construction of classrooms in Delhi’s government schools in a press conference. The accused persons were issued summons by a court on November 28, 2019 in the case.
