A Delhi court today reserved its order for September 19 on a plea by Lt Gen (Retd) Tejinder Singh who has sought cancellation of bail granted to former Army Chief Gen V K Singh and four top serving Army officials against whom he had filed a criminal defamation case.
The court also heard the arguments on the plea by the four serving Army officials for their permanent exemption from personal appearance and reserved its order on it for September 19.
Tejinder Singh had filed a criminal defamation case against V K Singh, Vice Chief of Army Staff S K Singh, Lt Gen B S Thakur (Director General of Military Intelligence), Major General S L Narshiman (Additional Director General of Public Information) and Col Hitten Sawhney.
Tejinder had alleged he was defamed by the Army through its press release issued on March 5, which accused him of offering a bribe of Rs 14 crore to the then Army Chief to clear a deal of 600 trucks, a charge refuted by him.
