Delhi HC grants preliminary injunction to Vikram Sampath against Audrey Truschke and others
The Delhi High Court has passed an ad-interim order restraining Audrey Truschke, Ananya Chakravarti, and Rohit Chopra from publishing defamatory content alleging plagiarism against historian Vikram Sampath with regards to his works on Veer Savarkar. The Court has held that till the next hearing, no defendants are allowed to make any statements and publish any content that is defamatory in this case.
The Delhi High Court granted a preliminary injunction to eminent historian Vikram Sampath in his case against Audrey Truschke and others. The HC bench of Justice Amit Bansal has also issued summons to Audrey Truschke, and the others in the case.
Controversial professor Audrey, Chakaravarti, and Chopra had addressed a letter to the Royal Historical Society bringing false allegations of plagiarism against the renowned author Vikram Sampath.
The Court order says, “Till the next date of hearing, defendants 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 are restrained from publishing the letter or any other defamatory material with respect to the plaintiff in any forum or social media as well as any other online or offline platforms.”
On the 14th of February, historian Vikram Sampath had filed a complaint with the Delhi High Court against controversial author Audrey Truschke and others, including social media site Twitter, for defamatory comments and false charges made against him on the platform. This came a day after a letter was published on Twitter that accused Sampath of ‘Plagiarism’ in his 2017 address on Veer Savarkar.
Several defamatory tweets were made by Abhishek Baxi and Ashok Swain, in which malicious intent of harming Sampath’s professional reputation not only at the national level but also globally was visible.
The Court has also noted that due credits were given for works used and the continued sharing of the defamatory content was causing considerable damage to Vikram Sampath’s career.
