The Supreme Court on Monday pronounced its judgement on the two petitions moved by BJP leaders Manoj Tiwari and Vijender Gupta against Delhi High Court's refusal to quash the summoning order issued by a Magistrate in the defamation case filed by Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

A bench comprising Justices S Abdul Nazeer and V Ramabsubramanian, which reserved the judgment on September 22, said that it has dismissed Manoj Tiwari's appeal, however has allowed Vijender Gupta's appeal.  During the hearing, the bench had observed that Gupta's tweets did not appear defamatory.
