A Delhi court today fixed July 19 for hearing a criminal defamation complaint filed by former Lt General Tejinder Singh against ex-Army chief General VK Singh and others.

The matter was to be heard today, but got posted to the July date as Metropolitan Magistrate Dheeraj Mittal, who was to hear the case, was on leave.

The court had earlier on December 9 set a deadline of four months for the Centre to grant sanction for prosecution of the four army officials who are accused in the complaint along with VK Singh.
