Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani on Tuesday filed a plea before the Delhi High Court against summons issued to her by a trial court to appear in a defamation case filed by Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam. The plea is likely to come up for hearing in court on Wednesday.

The court of a metropolitan magistrate had issued orders on June 6, summoning Irani to appear before court on September 27. Irani’s plea seeks to quash the trial and the summoning order. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/politics/smriti-irani-moves-delhi-high-court-over-defamation-case-summons/#sthash.w8RVat14.dpuf
