The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea seeking action against Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu for his claims about his wife's recovery from stage 4 cancer, emphasizing the right to free speech.

The court further suggested that the petitioner focus on issues like alcohol and cigarette consumption if truly concerned about public interest.
