A plea has been filed in Delhi High Court seeking to restrain Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi from making alleged defamatory statements against Adani group.
The petitioner has sought to prevent the top Congress and BJP leaders from making unsubstantial claims that could harm the Adani Group's market value and investors.
According to reports, Surjit Singh Yadav, who claims to be a farmer and stock investor, has filed a suit.
