Following up on my last week's post - malicious application against NDTV by IRS officer SK Srivastava dismissed. Here's the text of the mail sent today by NDTV's CEO Vikram Chandra to all employees.
Hi all,
You will recall that an IRS officer named SK Srivastava had filed a bizarre application against NDTV and others in the Patiala House Court last week.
You will be pleased to hear that the Court today dismissed that application, and also fined him Rs 10,000 costs.
Mr Srivastava has to pay the Rs 10,000 to the Court within a week otherwise his property will be attached.
We will, of course, vigorously pursue our defamation suit against him. We intend to send a strong signal that baseless attacks on NDTV will not be without consequence, and that this will be a precedent for the future.
Best
Vikram
