BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar to appear before the court

The high court has held on to Ernakulam CJM court's charge to BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar to appear before the court in a case alleging defamation of NCP leader and MLA Thomas Chandy by Asianet News. After considering a petition filed by the Bengaluru-based multimillionaire entrepreneur and politician, Justice Raja Vijayaraghavan V issued a stay for three months.

His counsel, Santhosh Mathew, asserted that the petitioner was represented as the managing director of Asianet News whereas he claimed to be a director of the company on November 4, 2013, thus the Kerala high court issued a stay after.
