Opthalmologist versus Singer Mika Singh: Court grants time to doctor to file reply
New Delhi: A Delhi court granted two weeks time to a doctor, who has filed a Rs 50 lakh defamation suit against singer Mika Singh for allegedly slapping him and tarnishing his image at a function here, for filing his rejoinder to the composer's response.
Additional District Judge Rajrani allowed the plea of Dr Srikanth seeking time to file rejoinder and posted the matter for August 24.
The court had earlier asked the doctor's advocates Rajesh Kumar and Ahmad Shahrooz to file rejoinder to Mika's statement and had fixed the matter for admission and denial of documents.
In his written statement, Mika had claimed that the suit was to harass and humiliate him and it should be dismissed with exemplary cost as it was devoid of merits.
He had alleged that the intention was to extort money from him and to pressure him for achieving ulterior motives.
Amrik Singh alias Mika was earlier summoned in the defamation suit filed by Srikanth, an ophthalmologist at Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital here, alleging that the singer had slapped him during a live concert, which was coordinated by the Delhi Ophthalmological Society as part of its three-day conference.
