Priya Ramani Acquitted By Delhi Court
Journalist Priya Ramani has been aquitted by the Delhi court on Wednesday
The court noted that the woman has all the rights to put forward her predicaments after years if she wants to and any further allegation must be considered noteworthy.
After almost two-year trial, the court finally acquitted Ramani from the defamation case filed by the former union minister MJ Akbar.
In October 2018, Ramani accused Akbar of sexual harassment and she tweeted about the same.
Ramani tweeted that she was sexually harassed by MJ Akbar when she came for a job interview in 1992.
During the #metoo movement, Ramani was the first one to accuse Akbar of sexual harassment, after her 20 other women alleged they were sexually harassed by him when they worked with him as journalists.
The Delhi court stating the acquittal said “You are acquitted from the present case.”
The court further adjourned the defamation charges against Ramani stating they were malicious and defamatory.
“On perusal and joint reading.., the court is of the view that content are defamatory,” intaking the defense taken by her.
Priya was represented by Senior Advocate Rebecca John and Akbar was represented by Senior Advocate Geeta Luthra.
The court also concluded that MJ Akbar was maltreated after the tweets and stated that Akbar is a man of reputation and the content is no way disrupted by Ramani.
After the Bar and Bench announced the news, the social media took it to be a platter of expression.
Several journalists, politicians and others applauded the court’s decision.
On 15th October 2018, MJ Akbar filed a defamation case against Ramani of defaming his position accusing him of sexual assault decades ago when he worked as a journalist. After the court took cognizance of the case, Akbar resigned from his position citing to seek justice in personal capacity.
