A judge of the Delhi High Court on Friday recused himself from hearing a plea by an NGO claiming that BBC documentary, “India: The Modi Question”, cast a slur on the country’s reputation and made false and defamatory imputations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian judiciary.
Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani said he was recusing himself but did not assign any reason for it.
The judge said the petition would be listed before another Bench for hearing on May 22, subject to orders of the Acting Chief Justice.
