New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI) The Delhi High Court has dismissed with cost of Rs 25,000 a public interest litigation (PIL) by a “hardcore fan” aggrieved by the “derogatory letters” written by Sukesh Chandrasekhar to actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi, involved in criminal proceedings together with the alleged conman.
In an order released Monday, a bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma said the perceived status of a “fan” did not grant the petitioner, Nishant Singh, the authority to seek relief on behalf of the actors who are well-equipped to protect their interests.
Stating that the petition was an abuse of the process of law, “replete with vague and reckless allegations” and a “misguided attempt to garner cheap publicity”, the court directed the petitioner to deposit the cost with Army Battle Casualties Welfare Fund within a period of thirty days, failing which it shall be recovered as arrears of land revenue.
