The Delhi high court on Monday refused to stay the trial court's summons to three Army officers on Lieutenant General (Retired) Tejinder Singh's criminal defamation complaint, accusing them of misusing their official positions and power to level false allegations against him.
Former army chief Gen V K Singh and four top serving officers were on Friday summoned as "accused" in a criminal defamation case filed by Lt Gen (retd) Tejinder Singh, in perhaps the first occasion when top-ranking officials have been called by a court.
