Just in: A Delhi court has reserved the order on the defamation case filed by Lt Col (retd) Tejinder Singh against Army Chief VK Singh. Tejinder Singh wanted the court to issue a direction to the government to initiate disciplinary inquiry against the chief for issuing public statements. He cited instances where several press notes were released at the chief's behest and said this amounted to misuse of his position.

On April 10 Tejinder Singh deposed before a Delhi court, supporting his complaint for intiating criminal defamation against Army Chief General V K Singh and four others. Recording his statements before Metropolitan Magistrate Sudesh Kumar, who had earlier asked Tejinder Singh to record pre-summoning evidence to support his complaint, the former Lieutenant Gen said the allegations levelled against him by the Army Headquarters were absolutely false.
