Activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan today sought quashing of a defamation complaint filed against him, Arvind Kejriwal and others by former Union Minister Kapil Sibal’s lawyer son Amit Sibal in Delhi High Court.
Senior advocate Shanti Bhushan, appearing for his lawyer son Prashant, submitted before the high court that there is no allegation which had cast “aspersion” on Amit Sibal or harmed his “reputation”.
The counsel also told Justice I S Mehta, if it was said that Amit is the son of a minister, it does not lower his moral character.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had held a press conference on May 15, 2013, alleging conflict of interest on part of Sibal, saying he had appeared in the court for a telecom firm when his father was the Union Communications Minister.
