Delhi Court to Rule on Defamation Case Involving BJP and AAP Leaders

A Delhi court will soon decide a BJP leader's plea against an AAP leader for alleged defamation dating back to 2018. The BJP leader, Suraj Bhan Chauhan, claims Saurabh Bhardwaj defamed him by alleging an FIR against him. A magistrate court previously dismissed Chauhan's complaint due to a time limitation issue.

On March 29, a Delhi court is set to deliver its decision regarding a plea filed by BJP leader Suraj Bhan Chauhan. The plea seeks legal action against AAP's Saurabh Bhardwaj based on defamation claims.

The complaint stems from a 2018 press conference where Bhardwaj allegedly claimed that an FIR was lodged against Chauhan. Previous efforts to pursue the case were dismissed due to timing restrictions on filing.

Special judge Vishal Gogne reserved the call on Chauhan's appeal against the dismissal of the defamation complaint, stating the decision will be made on March 29, 2025.
