“Earlier in order to ensure speedy justice, we moved an application before the court to conduct day-to-day hearing to which they (Sanjay’s counsel) submitted a reply to conduct hearing at regular pace. They are running away from a speedy trial for reasons best known to them.” The next hearing is on October 3.

Majithia filed a defamation case in a Ludhiana court in January this year, accusing Sanjay Singh and other AAP leaders of defaming him by dragging his name in Punjab’s drug racket.
