Former Army Chief General VK Singh summoned in defamation case

      A Delhi Court has summoned former Army Chief General VK Singh in connection with the defamation case filed against him by Retired Lieutenant General Tejinder Singh. Four other officers were also summoned by the court on July 20. On March 5 this year, the Indian Army in an official statement had said that retired General Tejinder Singh, who had allegedly benefitted from the Adarsh Housing scam, was not only planting reports in the media but had even tried to bribe the Army Chief for clearing a file relating to purchase of a tranche of 600 sub-standard Tatra trucks. The court had earlier said it would pass an order only after going through the file relating to the publication of the Army's March 5 press release. The court had earlier said it was "prima facie" satisfied that the March 5 press release was defamatory as serious allegation of "bribery" has been made against Tejinder Singh, who had a long and distinguished career in the Army. Besides General Singh, Tejinder Singh has also named Vice Chief of Army Staff SK Singh, Lt Gen BS Thakur (DG MI), Major General SL Narshiman (Additional Director General of Public Information) and Lt Col Hitten Sawhney, accusing them of misusing their official positions, power and authority to level false charges against him.
