The complainant’s counsel submitted that a Sessions Court had directed that the FIR in the case be registered on April 19, 2022.
While there has been no update on registration of the complaint since, on July 29, an article was published in the Hindustan Times‘ first-page Hindi editorial detailing the allegations, the counsel added.
The complainant argued that only someone knowing the name of the complainant or accused, FIR number and the date of registration would have been able to access the FIR from the centralised system where it is uploaded.
It was alleged that that the FIR was deliberately leaked to the media to tarnish the image of the complainant, a high-profile person.
