Trinamool Congress (TMC) member Mahua Moitra moved the Delhi High Court on October 17 seeking to restrain Bharatiya Janata Party MP Nishikant Dubey, advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, and several social media platforms and media houses from posting, circulating or publishing any alleged fake and defamatory content against her.
The High Court issued notices to the defendants in the case and posted Ms. Moitra’s suit for further hearing on Friday. “In view of the urgency emphasized by learned senior counsel for the plaintiff [Ms. Moitra], list on October 20, 2023,” the High Court order said.
Ms. Moitra is at the centre of a political storm after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey complained to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla that she had allegedly taken bribes from a business house to ask questions in Parliament.
