HC Hears Submissions Made on Behalf of Patkar in LG Saxena Defamation Case

The counsel for LG Saxena strongly opposed the plea, saying that it was aimed at delaying the trial.

The Delhi High Court heard submissions on behalf of social activist Medha Patkar in a case challenging the trial court's order, which denied permission to call additional witness Nandita Narrain for examination in a case against incumbent LG VK Saxena.

The hearing took place on Tuesday, where Medha Patkar's counsel argued that there is no bar on calling for the examination of a witness not named in the list of witnesses.

Justice Shalinder Kaur, after hearing the arguments on behalf of Patkar, listed the matter on May 26.

The bench will hear the arguments by the counsel for Saxena against the appeal.
