Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Congress MP settle defamation dispute, SC told

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday recorded that the defamation dispute between Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Congress Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Vivek Tankha has been amicably settled.

A bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and N.K. Singh was hearing a special leave petition (SLP) filed by former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Chouhan, former Minister Bhupendra Singh Yadav, and ex-State BJP President V.D. Sharma seeking quashing of the criminal defamation proceedings initiated on Tankha’s complaint.

Appearing for the petitioners, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, told the apex court that the parties had resolved their differences after meeting in Parliament.
