The defamation suit was initially filed by Delhi BJP leader Rajiv Babbar in response to claims made by AAP leaders. The allegations in question suggested that names of approximately 30 lakh voters, purportedly belonging to a specific community, had been deliberately removed from the electoral rolls.
Yesterday, a Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Hrishikesh Roy and SVN Bhatti intervened in the matter, ordering a halt to the ongoing proceedings in the trial court. This move comes after Atishi and Kejriwal challenged a previous Delhi High Court order that had refused to quash the case.
The Delhi High Court, in its earlier decision, had stated that the alleged remarks by the AAP leaders appeared to have, at first glance, damaged the reputation of the BJP. This determination led to the continuation of the case, prompting the AAP leaders to seek relief from the apex court.
