The Supreme Court upheld Medha Patkar’s defamation conviction in a case filed by Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena.

Saket Court will deliver its verdict on April 2 regarding the petition challenging the conviction of Medha Patkar, the leader of NBA.

In a 23-year-old criminal defamation case, Narmada Bachao Andolan leader and activist Medha Patkar sentenced to 5 months imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10 lakh.

The court highlighted that accusing Saxena of mortgaging the people of Gujarat and their resources to foreign interests was a direct attack on his integrity and public service.
