HC notice to DCW, chairperson on Kumar Vishwas's plea

New Delhi, May 22: The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) and its chairperson Barkha Singh on a plea of AAP leader Kumar Vishwas. Kumar Vishwas has challenged and sought suspension of the summons issued to him by the DCW on the complaint of an Aam Aadmi Party volunteer who alleged that her life was ruined because he refused to deny “rumours” over their alleged affair. Justice Rajiv Shakdher also summoned the complaint to respond to the plea after she was added as a party in the case. The court also refused to suspend the summons issued to Vishwas by the DCW. “The high court registry will send summon to her (complaint) in a sealed cover. Issue notice to newly added party (the woman), the Delhi Commission for Women and its chairperson,” said the court while posting the matter for July 1. (IANS)
