New Delhi: A Delhi court on Saturday directed a doctor, who has filed a defamation suit against popular singer Mika Singh seeking Rs 50 lakh as damage for allegedly slapping him and tarnishing his image at a function here, to supply paper books to the performer.
Additional District Judge D K Jangala asked the plaintiff, Dr Srikanth, to give within two weeks the relevant documents of the suit to the counsel appearing for Mika, who was earlier summoned for Saturday. The court listed the matter for further hearing on March 3.
Amrik Singh alias Mika was summoned in the defamation suit filed by Dr Srikanth, an ophthalmologist at Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital here, alleging that the singer had slapped him during a live concert, coordinated by the Delhi Ophthalmological Society as part of its three-day conference.
In the suit filed through advocates Rajesh Kumar and Ahmad Shahrooz, the doctor said on April 11, 2015, he was dancing at the venue when Mika, without any reason, started pointing fingers at him from the stage and asked him to move aside allegedly in a rude manner using abusive language.
He alleged that when the plaintiff did not pay heed to Mika’s “dictatorship and unparliamentary and abusive language”, the singer got angry and directed his bouncers to drag the doctor to the stage. (PTI)
