Case Against BBC for Modi Documentary: Delhi High Court Slams NGO for Adjournments — Gives One Last Chance

The Justice on Trial NGO’s ₹10,000-crore defamation suit against BBC over the documentary “India: The Modi Question” was sharply rebuked by the Delhi High Court for repeated adjournments. The court said the matter was filed in 2023 and repeatedly delayed, noting serious questions about its maintainability. The court granted the NGO a “last and final opportunity” to argue maintainability — signalling that if they fail, the suit may be dismissed. The episode underscores judicial impatience with procedural delays in high-stake defamation/libel litigation involving media houses and public-interest content. (Bar and Bench - Indian Legal news)
