The Allahabad High Court has dismissed Congress leader Pawan Khera’s petition seeking to quash a defamation case filed against him. The case emanates from alleged defamatory remarks that Khera made against the complainant, claiming that those remarks were detrimental to the complainant’s reputation.
In the order, the court observed sufficient cause for continuing the defamation proceedings in the lower court, where the case is ongoing. Khera had pleaded that his words were being misconstrued, but the court denied him any relief.
This decision marks a crucial development in the legal battle involving Khera, with growing numbers of defamation cases involving political leaders in India. It will now be taken through the judicial process in the trial court.
