Order flouted: Court issues non-bailable warrant against Patkar
The Daily Guardian
|April 24, 2025
A Delhi court on Wednesday issued a non-bailable warrant against Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Medha Patkar for flouting its order asking her to submit probation bonds and deposit Rs 1 lakh fine in a defamation case filed by Delhi LG V K Saxena.
Saxena filed the case 23 years ago, when he headed an NGO in Gujarat. Additional sessions judge Vishal Singh, who held the 70-year-old guilty in the defamation case, released her on probation of good conduct on April 8 while saddling her with a precondition of Rs 1 lakh fine.
On Wednesday, the matter was listed for Patkar's appearance, furnishing of probation bonds and depositing the fine amount.
Saxena's counsel, advocate Gajinder Kumar, said Patkar did not appear, nor did she comply with the court's directions.
