A widespread message, shared by several prominent handles on Twitter, claims that The Wire offered an apology in the Supreme Court after losing the defamation suit filed by Home Minister Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah against the digital news outlet for falsely accusing him. The Wire had published an article on October 8, 2017<\/a> which alleged that the turnover of a company owned by Jay Shah increased 16,000 times over in the year following the election of PM Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n

BJP leader and former MP Hariom Pandey<\/a> tweeted the claim on March 19.<\/p>\n

False claim<\/h4>\n

Jay Shah had filed a criminal defamation case as well as a civil defamation case against The Wire in which he seeks Rs 100 crore in damages.<\/p>\n

“The trial has not even started, and I don’t know on what basis people are making these outlandish claims,” said Siddharth Vardarajan, founding editor of The Wire, to Alt News.<\/p>\n

The Wire moved the Supreme Court in January 2018, after the Gujarat high court refused to accept its plea that the criminal defamation case be quashed, reported the outlet itself in August 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“A second petition was also filed in 2018, when an injunction against the further publication of material on the business affairs of Jay Amit Shah \u2013 that the trial court had imposed ex parte, and then vacated \u2013 was restored by the Gujarat high court,” The Wire further stated.<\/p>\n

Both petitions were withdrawn and the case is proceeding straight to trial.<\/p>\n

Journalist Rohini Singh who reported on the Jay Shah story also called out the misinformation on Twitter. “You have pronounced the judgement even before the hearing of the case has begun in the trial court,” she wrote.<\/p>\n
