The Bombay High Court on Monday dismissed the petition filed by MLA Ravindra Waikar from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) party regarding cancellation of permission granted to him and four.
Publication of a defamatory statement on the ground that a similar statement was mentioned in a judicial pleading is not a valid defence to justify repetition of that statement, the Bombay High Court.
The remarks came in petition filed by state transport body seeking contempt action to be initiated against their striking workers for not resuming duty despite court orders.
