Supreme Court temporarily halts criminal defamation proceedings against AAP leaders Kejriwal and Atishi.

The Supreme Court has temporarily halted criminal defamation proceedings against AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi, stemming from a 2018 statement alleging BJP's involvement in deleting voters' names in Delhi. The court is reviewing whether the defamation claims meet legal standards and has issued notices to the Delhi government and BJP leader Rajiv Babbar. The trial court proceedings are stayed as the case will be revisited after further examination.
