National Herald case: To restrain BJP's Subramanian Swamy from posting derogatory tweets, Delhi court fixes 17 Nov for final order

Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Saturday reserved its order in a plea filed by senior Congress leader Motilal Vora and has fixed 17th November for an order regarding the plea.

The plea was related to the National Herald case, which involves Congress scion and president Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. The case pertains to stop senior BJP leader and MP Subramanian Swamy from posting derogatory tweets regarding the National Herald issue as the matter is still sub-judice and a final decision is yet to come.

The rest part of submission of evidence by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy will also be recorded on the same date, as per sources.

ANI had tweeted that “Delhi's Patiala House Court has fixed 17th November for order on plea of Motilal Vora, rest part of submission of evidence by Subramanian Swamy will be recorded on the same date.”

Earlier, Motilal Vora approached the Delhi’s Patiala House Court seeking to refrain Subramanian Swamy from sharing the information and details of the National Herald case on Twitter and other social media sites.

Subramanian Swmay later on criticized Congress leader Motilal Vohra for wasting court’s time by filing frivolous plea in the National Herald case and demanded a swift judgement in the case.
