New Delhi, Jan 15 (IANS) Congress leader Jagdish Tytler told a court here Thursday that there was no legally admissible evidence to frame charges against him in a defamation complaint filed by advocate H.S. Phoolka, who represented the victims in the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases.
Phoolka had filed the complaint against Tytler in 2006, alleging that the Congress leader had made derogatory remarks about him in a news programme aired Sep 7, 2004.
Tytler's counsel told Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Gaurav Rao that there was a long and "inordinate delay" in the proceedings and there was no legally admissible evidence to frame charges against his client.
He said primary evidence filed by the complainant was based on a video cassette, which is electronic evidence but cannot be filed in court without a proper certificate as mandated by law.
However, Phoolka's counsel countered it by saying that there was sufficient evidence to proceed with framing of notice.
The court fixed the matter for further arguments Jan 24.
