Former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh on Wednesday withdrew a defamation suit filed against TV journalist Arnab Goswami and ARG Outlier Media which owns Republic TV. Additional sessions judge V D Kedar allowed the withdrawal but imposed a nominal cost of ₹1,500 on Singh which will be paid to Goswami.
"It is not in dispute that due to filing of the suit the defendant has to engage an advocate. I feel cost needs to be imposed for withdrawal of the suit unconditionally," the judge said.
Singh had filed a defamation suit in 2021 against Goswami and the owners of Republic TV seeking damages of ₹90,00,000 for allegedly defaming him.
