A Delhi court has suspended the sentence of social activist Medha Patkar in a 23-year-old defamation case filed by former Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena. Patkar, who received a five-month jail term, was granted bail on a bond of ₹25,000. The case involves Patkar's 2000 press release, which allegedly harmed Saxena's reputation. The court has sought Saxena's response by September 4.
