Gokhale ordered to pay Rs 50L in damages
The Business Guardian|July 02, 2024
The Delhi High Court directed TMC leader Saket Gokhale on Monday to apologise and pay Rs 50 lakh damages to former diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri, the wife of Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri, for his defamatory tweets against her over the purchase of a property in Switzerland.

Hearing the defamation lawsuit filed by the former assistant secretary general of the United Nations, Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani also restrained the TMC Member of Parliament from publishing any more content on any social media or electronic platform concerning his imputation.

The “roving allegations” insinuating financial impropriety, the judge observed, were “actually targeting” BJP leader Hardeep Singh Puri and it was “extremely irresponsible” of Gokhale to have published the “derogatory content” without due verification.
