Court Restrains AAP Leader Sanjay Singh in Defamation Case
A court in Goa has told Sanjay Singh, a politician, to stop talking about Sulakshana Sawant, the wife of Goa's Chief Minister.
She sued him because she felt his comments were hurting her reputation.
Singh had said she was involved in a 'cash-for-jobs scam'.
The court's order means he can't repeat those statements or share them on social media until the court case is over.
The wife is seeking a large sum of money because she feels his words damaged her.
Singh alleged that jobs in Goa were being sold.
Sanjay Singh is restrained from making public statements about Sulakshana Sawant.
Sulakshana Sawant filed a defamation suit against Singh seeking Rs 100 crore in damages.
The suit concerns Singh's remarks alleging Sawant's involvement in a 'cash-for-jobs scam'.
The court order prevents Singh from making similar statements until the case is decided.
