NBA activist Medha Patkar has got a relief from a Delhi court which cancelled a non-bailable warrant against her for non-appearance in cross-defamation cases filed by her and KVIC Chairman V K Saxena, but warned her to be "careful in future".
She had moved against the May 29 order through which the court had issued the NBW taking strong exception for her absence and saying that the grounds taken by her were "not convincing" and "do not inspire confidence of the court". Metropolitan Magistrate Vikrant Vaid allowed Patkar's plea for cancellation of NBW and posted the next date of hearing on the defamation cases for August three.
"Considering the plea taken in the application and in the facts and circumstances of the case, NBW of accused Medha Patkar stands cancelled.
"Accused is warned to be careful in future. Copy of this order be sent to the concerned police station. Accordingly, application stands disposed of. Now to come up on August 3, 2017," the judge said.
