New Delhi: The Patiala House Court on Saturday listed the hearing on a criminal defamation complaint filed by Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi for May 22. Fatehi recently filed a defamation complaint against actor Jacqueline Fernandez and various media organisations in Delhi Court. She claimed that Fernandez's statement caused harm to her reputation and meant malicious reasons.
The matter was listed before Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Kapil Gupta on Saturday, but the matter could not be taken up and adjourned for May 22. On December 19, 2022, Court noted that counsel for the complainant sought some time to file the list of witnesses. The complainant is at liberty to file appropriate documents on or before the next date of hearing.
Fatehi through her Advocates Vikram Singh Chauhan, Umair Ahmed and Tanisha stated that Jacqueline made a "false statement" which was "unnecessary and unwarranted". She "unnecessarily dragged the complainant" and "defamed her as she is in the same industry and is fully aware that the business of any artist and their career is solely based on their reputation.
Fatehi alleged that Jacqueline also maliciously attempted to absolve herself from her actions in other criminal proceedings which are absolutely unrelated to the Complainant.
Nora Fatehi and Jacqueline Fernandez both were recently questioned by different investigation agencies in the 200 Crore Extortion case involving alleged Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar and others. (with ANI inputs)
