NEW DELHI: Singer Mika Singh has been granted the last opportunity by a court for admitting or denying documents relating to a Rs 50 lakh defamation suit filed against him for allegedly slapping a doctor and tarnishing his image at a function here.
Additional District Judge Rajrani gave a final chance to the composer whose counsel sought an adjournment.
“Put up for admission/denial of documents/framing of issues on October 4. Last opportunity is granted to defendant (Mika),” the court said.
Meanwhile, advocates Rajesh Kumar and Ahmad Shahrooz, representing complainant doctor Srikanth, filed the copy of his medico-legal report.
Amrik Singh alias Mika was earlier summoned in the defamation suit filed by Srikanth, an ophthalmologist at Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital here, alleging that the singer had slapped him during a live concert, which was coordinated by the Delhi Ophthalmological Society as part of a three-day conference.
However, in his written statement, Mika had claimed that the suit was to harass and humiliate him and had sought its dismissal with exemplary cost saying it was devoid of merits. (AGENCIES)
