On the other hand, the use of word &#8216;koi&#8217; (someone) before &#8216;thulla&#8217; clearly shows that the said imputation is neither directed towards complainant individually nor towards whole of Delhi Police as a class but towards an indeterminate and unidentifiable class of police officers of Delhi Police who are having lower productivity rate than other reasonable Delhi police officers,&#8221; Metropolitan Magistrate Arun Kumar Garg said, in his order.<\/p>\n<p>The court&#8217;s order came on a criminal defamation complaint filed against Kejriwal by a constable of Govindpuri Police Station who had claimed he was insulted by the CM&#8217;s remark in a TV interview in which he had referred to police as &#8220;thulla&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The court, while dismissing the complaint, said, &#8220;To be more precise the said word appears to have been made with reference to those police officers who lack in efficiency and indulge in taking money from rehdi patri walas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also said the statement given by Kejriwal during his interview on a TV channel on July 17, it is &#8220;not per se defamatory in as much as the meaning of term &#8216;thulla&#8217; suggests that it is relative term to denote the performance level of a worker against fellow workers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is neither directed to the complainant individually nor to entire Delhi Police as a class but to an indeterminate and unidentifiable class of inefficient and corrupt police officials&#8230; Thus, there are no sufficient grounds to proceed further against the respondent (Kejriwal) and to summon him under section 500 of the IPC,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>In the order, the magistrate also referred to the recent Supreme Court verdict on pleas challenging constitutionality of provisions of defamation law.<\/p>\n<p>The court also said before the complainant can maintain a complaint under Section 499\/500 (defamation) of the IPC as a member of Delhi Police, he must show that the alleged defamatory imputation &#8216;thulla&#8217; was directed against entire Delhi Police.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term &#8220;thulla&#8221; used by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was made with reference to the Delhi Police officers who are &#8220;inefficient&#8221;, have &#8220;low productivity rate&#8221; and take money from street vendors, a court here has said while dismissing a criminal defamation complaint against the AAP leader. &#8220;It has not been said by the respondent (Kejriwal) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38299,"featured_media":42120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1954],"tags":[36602,2934,146,2671,31987,117,80],"class_list":["post-43087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-profile-cases","tag-thulla-remark","tag-arvind-kejriwal","tag-court","tag-delhi-court","tag-featured","tag-law","tag-legal-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Kejriwal&#039;s &#039;thulla&#039; remark aimed at inefficient cops&quot; - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The term &quot;thulla&quot; used by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was made with reference to the Delhi Police officers who are &quot;inefficient&quot;, have &quot;low - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
