CJM Bhubhaskar Yadav issued Non-Bailable Warrant against Union Water Resources Minister’s application for not appearing before the court in defamation case against her filed by Congress Leader Digvijay Singh.
CJM directed police authorities to execute NBW. He also dismissed the plea by Harish Mehta, representing Uma Bharti seeking exemption from appearance during court hearing on the ground that she was busy in meeting with regard to Cauvery water dispute in view of Apex Court order.
CJM dismissed the plea saying that Bharti is not turning up to record her statement in connection with the defamation case since October 2015 and enough time has been given to her in the 13-year-old case.
The Congress leader Digvijay Singh had filed the case against the then BJP chief ministerial candidate Bharti in the run-up to the 2003 Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls after she alleged that a scam running in crores of rupees had taken place during Singh’s tenure as the state’s chief minister between 1993 and 2003.
