Will present facts before the court: Cong leader Jairam Ramesh on HC summons on Smriti Irani defamation suit
The Delhi High Court on Friday issued summons over a defamation suit filed by Union Minister Smriti Irani against Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh, Pawan Khera and Netta D’Souza, and asked them to take down tweets and other social media posts regarding allegations brought in against Irani’s daughter
The Congress party has alleged that Smriti Irani’s daughter Zoish Irani was running an illegal bar, ‘Silly Souls Café’ in Goa’s Assagao.
Smriti Irani has served a legal notice to Congress leaders Pawan Khera, Jairam Ramesh, and Netta D’ Souza and demanded a written unconditional apology and asked them to withdraw the allegations against her daughter with immediate effect.
Justice Mini Pushkarna remarked said, “I am of the prima facie view that slanderous allegations were made against the plaintiff without verifying actual facts. Grave injury has been caused to the reputation of the plaintiff in view of the tweets and retweets carried out due to the press conference of the defendants. Plaintiff has made out prima facie case and balance of convenience lies in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendants.”
While Smriti Irani refuted Congress’ allegations terming them as “malicious” intended to “malign” her and assassinate the character of her 18-year-old student daughter, the Congress party urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sack her as Union minister.
After the development in the court, taking to his Twitter account, Jairam Ramesh said: “The Delhi High Court has issued a notice asking us to formally reply to the case filed by Smriti Irani. We look forward to presenting the facts before the court. We will challenge and disprove the spin being put out by Ms. Irani.”
