Madras HC issues notice to MK Stalin, DMK IT Wing over ₹1cr defamation suit
The Madras High Court issued notices to MK Stalin and the DMK IT Wing on Aadhav Arjuna’s ₹1 crore defamation suit over an X post linking him to a drug case.
The Madras High Court issued notices to former Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin and the party's IT Wing over a ₹1 crore civil defamation suit filed by state minister Aadhav Arjuna. The suit was filed after an X post allegedly linked Arjuna to a narcotics case accused, John Britto. Arjuna claimed the post was "ex facie false" and highly defamatory, as he denied any connection to the accused.
The court will hear further arguments by September 15, and Arjuna has requested the court to declare the post defamatory, order an unconditional apology, and direct the deletion of the post from social media.
