Mend ways or be ready to face music, court tells VK Singh

A local court on Thursday warned former Army chief general VK Singh against making defamatory remarks against ex-Lt Governor of Delhi Tejinder Singh, who had filed a criminal defamation case against him and four others, saying it would lead to cancellation of his bail granted earlier. Metropolitan magistrate Jay Thareja disposed of the plea of Lt Gen (Retd) Tejinder Singh seeking cancellation of bail granted to Singh but issued certain directions saying he should ‘mend his ways and refrain from repeating the defamatory remarks’ against the complainant and not to use derogatory language about the court. ‘I deem it apposite not to cancel bail of accused no.1 (V K Singh) at this stage and give the accused no.1 a reasonable opportunity to mend his ways.’  Thareja said.
