The Delhi High Court has issued summons to ANI over a man’s defamation complaint alleging that the agency carried his wife’s interview and a report in which she falsely accused him of giving her instant triple talaq for not giving birth to a male child, Bar and Bench reported.
Dr Danish Hashim, the petitioner, argued that the allegations made against him in 2021 are defamatory as he belongs to Islam’s Shia sect which does not recognise instant triple talaq as a form of divorce in the community. He said he was separated from his wife in 2020 but no legal divorce has taken place.
