The Petitioner Counsel then referred to the injunction order passed against him in a case filed by HMDA. The said case has been filed by HMDA seeking order against the factually incorrect and baseless allegations made by MP.

Counsel representing the MP mentioned before the Court that as a reason of this order he could not speak. The Court then asked the Senior Counsel representing HMDA about the same.
