On Thursday, a Delhi High Court Judge recused from hearing a plea by activist Shehla Rashid seeking an unambiguous and unequivocal apology from a news channel and a TV journalist to mitigate the damage caused to her reputation by allegedly airing a one-sided defamatory broadcast in which charges were levelled against her by her estranged father.

Justice Prathiba M Singh said she cannot hear this matter and it be listed before another bench.

While the News Broadcasters and Digital Association (NBDA) has filed its reply to the petition, Zee News sought time to place its stand.
