The Allahabad High Court has recently quashed the summoning order in a defamation complaint case and observed that being close to someone in a natural or normal human relationship and to form an illicit relationship are two different things.
Cognizance of the offense was taken and the Revisionist was summoned as accused before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate to face trial. The said summoning order dated 14.11.2019 has been assailed by Sudhir Chaudhary in the revision petition.
