New Delhi: The supreme court bar association has resolved to write is to the former high Indian Commissioner to the U.K. Kuldip Nayyar to demand an apology for certain passages in his forthcoming book India House.
The executive committee of the association also decided to call upon Nayar to expunge objectionable portions from the book and put an advertisement in the papers containing his apologies. The committee claims that Nayar cast aspersions on K.K. Venugopal who was the president of the association in the past. The matter relates to the supposed reactions of Venugopal on hearing of the illness and death of the former chief justice Sabyaschi Mukherjee.
Venugopal has filed a defamation suit demanding Rs 5 lakh as damages.
