New Delhi | The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to Union minister Smriti Irani in a case pertaining to two cross defamation complaints filed by Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam and the BJP leader against each other.
In one case, the Delhi High Court had quashed the summons issued against Irani in a defamation complaint filed against her by Nirupam.
The high court, however, had dismissed a similar plea of Nirupam seeking to set aside the summons issued against him in a cross defamation complaint filed by Irani.
The high court, on December 19 last year, had said the case against Nirupam will continue.
On Monday, a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi issued the notice to Irani on two appeals filed by the Congress leader.
