On Thursday, JSPL filed a defamation suit for Rs 200 crore against four executives of Zee in Bombay High Court.
“Notices for which have already been issued to Subhash Chandra, Puneet Goenka, Sudhir Chaudhary and Sameer Ahluwalia of Zee News and Zee Business. The case is likely to come for hearing next week at Bombay High Court,” the company said.
However, Jindal's charges were strongly denied by the Zee group.
“Zee News has condemned and completely rejected the doctored evidence produced by Mr. Jindal. Zee News sees this as a deliberate attempt to malign the trustworthy television network,” the media house said.
JSPL is one of the companies named in the CAG report as one of the beneficiaries of the coal block allocation without auction.
