Supreme Court Sets Aside Delhi HC Order Quashing Summons To 'The Wire' In Ex-JNU Professor's Criminal Defamation Case

The Supreme Court of India has overturned a Delhi High Court decision that had quashed a summons issued to The Wire, a news outlet, in a criminal defamation case filed by a former JNU professor. The case centers around allegations made by the professor against the publication. The Supreme Court's ruling effectively reinstates the legal proceedings against The Wire, challenging the High Court's earlier dismissal of the summons. This decision underscores the ongoing legal battle and highlights the Supreme Court's role in reviewing lower court judgments related to defamation and media reporting.
