NBW against Patkar for not complying with bail terms in defamation case
The Morning Standard
|April 24, 2025
A city court has issued a non-bailable warrant against Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Medha Patkar after she failed to comply with the terms of her release in a 23-year-old defamation case filed by L-G V K Saxena.
The case, initiated by Saxena in 2000 when he led the National Council of Civil Liberties, stems from a press release issued by Patkar on November 24 that year. In it, she accused him of being involved in hawala transactions. These statements, a magisterial court ruled last year, were not only defamatory but designed to provoke negative public sentiment.
