Somnath Bharti case hearing deferred; next arguments August 22

A man named Somnath Bharti, who used to be a minister in Delhi, said something about hospitals in Uttar Pradesh that upset people.

A person named Somnath Sahu complained to the police about what he said.

Now a court is deciding what should happen.

The court meeting was supposed to happen on Monday, but the lawyers were on strike, so it was postponed.

The next meeting is on August 22.

At that meeting, the court will talk about the charges against him.

Mr. Bharti can join the meeting online.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had paused the case, but now it has allowed it to continue.

Mr. Bharti was not at the last meeting even though he was asked to come.
