New Delhi: A Delhi court on Tuesday pulled up former army chief General VK Singh for stating to the court that Lt General Tejinder Singh is working against national interest.
Lt General Tejinder Singh had filed a defamation case earlier in 2012 after the former army chief alleged that he was offered a bribe by the former.
The court has scheduled the next hearing of the case on September 10.
In his reply filed before Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Jay Thareja on Tejinder Singh's plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to him, Singh had alleged that Tejinder was "maliciously" prosecuting top serving and retired Army officers.
"The application moved by the complainant (Tejinder)...is vehemently opposed as the same is merely an outcome of the whims and fancies of complainant who is pursuing a sinister anti-national agenda of maligning and demeaning the Indian Army for reasons best known to him by maliciously prosecuting top serving and retired officers of the Indian Army," Singh had said in his plea.
The former army chief said he has an "impeccable service record quite contrary to that of the complainant (Tejinder)" and the application seeking cancellation of bail is aimed at "harassing" him.
