NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has set aside an order summoning real estate firm Ansal Buildwell LtdBSE -1.07 % as accused in a defamation case, saying a company cannot have a guilty mind to defame someone.

The court allowed the company's revision petition filed against a magisterial court's order saying it was "not sustainable" and the magistrate had "erred" in summoning the firm as an accused for the alleged offence of defamation.
