Delhi High Court has issued a notice to Swami Govindananda Saraswati in response to a defamation suit filed by Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, who alleges that Govindananda called him a "fake baba" and claimed he had political backing from the Congress party. The court emphasized the importance of a saint's true standing being determined by conduct and character rather than litigation over defamation. The case will be heard again on August 29.
