The Supreme Court on Friday quashed a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued by a trial court in Srinagar against activist Madhu Kishwar in a criminal defamation case filed by a Kashmir-based journalist.
A Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud set aside the NBW issued by the trial court last month, after senior advocate Kapil Sibal, for the activist, said the warrant was issued because the apex court's July 24 order was not placed before the magistrate.
