Anil Ambani to Withdraw Defamation Suits Against Congress, National Herald

“We have intimated the defendants that we are going to withdraw the suits against them,” Reliance Group’s lawyer Rasesh Parikh told PTI. The defamation suits were being heard by civil and sessions judge PJ Tamakuwala in Ahmedabad.

Reliance Defence, Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Aerostructure, which are part of the Reliance Group, had filed civil defamation suits against Congress leaders like Sunil Jakhar, Randeep Singh Surjewala, Oommen Chandy, Ashok Chavan, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Sanjay Nirupam and Shaktisinh Gohil, a few journalists and news organisations like National Herald.

PS Champaneri, who represents the National Herald and some other defendants, said he was told by the Reliance Group’s lawyer that he had received instructions from his client to withdraw the defamation suits against them. Champaneri said the process to withdraw the defamation suits will be taken up in court when it resumes after the summer break.
