A Delhi court acquitted Medha Patkar in a 2006 defamation case due to lack of credible evidence, acquitting her on January 24, 2026.
A Delhi court has acquitted activist Medha Patkar in a 2006 criminal defamation case filed by former Lieutenant Governor V.K.
Saxena, ruling the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that she made the alleged defamatory statements during a televised interview.
The court highlighted the absence of original video or audio recordings, lack of eyewitnesses, and inconsistencies in the evidence, noting only a short, unverified clip was presented.
The verdict, delivered on January 24, 2026, by Judicial Magistrate First Class Raghav Sharma, underscores the need for credible evidence in defamation cases.
The acquittal does not affect a separate 2001 case where Patkar was previously convicted for calling Saxena a “coward,” though that conviction was recently modified by the Supreme Court.
