BJP leader Mohit Bharatiya, who had filed a defamation complaint against former NCP minister Nawab Malik, has sought withdrawal of the plea. Nawab Malik is currently in judicial custody in an alleged case of money laundering.
The Supreme Court said it will not interfere with the Bombay High Court order of March 15 but NCP leader Nawab Malik can avail of the remedy available under the law before the trial court.
