Delhi court restrains London-based lawyer from selling book which ‘defames’

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has restrained London-based lawyer Sarosh Zaiwalla from selling his book which allegedly defames senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi and his family.

District Judge Sanjeev Jain on Monday passed the directions till further order on a criminal defamation complaint against Zaiwalla for allegedly defaming Singhvi’s family by linking his father L M Singhvi to the Bofors case in the book.

The judge said that a strong case “prima facie” was made out in favour of Singhvi and that his reputation was at stake. (AGENCIES)
