Girish Verma had filed a defamation case of 10 crores by telling the allegations against him as a loss to the organization, the court rejected
The order said that the plaintiff organization, which filed the case, should bear the expenses of both the plaintiff and the defendant.
The court dismissed the defamation case filed by the university management in the Bhopal district court on the allegations of physical abuse leveled against Girish Verma, head of Katni-Jabalpur’s Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic University in 2013. Dismissing the case, the court also said in the order that the plaintiff organization should bear the expenses of this case and the court expenses of the defendants (Rajesh Sharma, Renu Sharma) should also be borne by them. Actually, Renu Sharma used to work in Maharishi Vidya Mandir School, Bhopal, run by Maharishi Education Institute and Rajesh Sharma was working in the companies run by Girish Verma from the beginning as per Girish Verma’s wish, and from the year 1989, Girish Verma’s private secretary. Renu Sharma had accused Girish Verma of physical abuse in 2013, having worked in that capacity for 27 years. This case is under consideration in the High Court and Girish Verma is on bail given by the High Court Jabalpur in the said case. Girish Verma, considering himself to be Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic University, called the allegations of personal slander, allegations and physical exploitation against Girish Verma a loss to the institution and filed a defamation case in the court. In the defamation case filed by the university’s registrar Arvind Singh Rajput on behalf of Girish Verma, the university’s registrar Arvind Singh Rajput has demanded that the allegations of Renu-Rajesh Sharma have tarnished the image of the institution and the institution has suffered a revenue loss of about Rs 10 crore. It was also submitted in the court that education is given in Vedas, Upanishads, Darshana, Nyaya Vedanta, History, Puranas, Ayurveda, Ved Gyan etc., hence any false allegation against any director, chancellor or head of the institution Defamation is a loss to the organization. Since both Renu-Rajesh Sharma, who made the allegations, were fired from the organization, they have defamed the organization by making false allegations against the head of the organization, Girish Verma. The reputation of the organization has been tarnished by his allegations of sexual harassment. This was rejected by the court saying that the allegation was personal and not on the institution. Experts argue that Girish Verma had filed a defamation claim in the court by terming the allegations against him as institutional, which could not be proved in the court.
The organization fought the case for 10 years
The interesting thing is that the case filed by Girish Verma on behalf of the organization considering himself as an organization went on in the court for 10 years. The case was filed in 2013 and the decision came in 2022. A defamation case of Rs 10 crore was filed, in lieu of which the court fee money was deposited in the court from the organization’s account, whereas this case was a personal case of Girish Verma. Also, the organization spent a decade fighting the case. At the same time, the money and time of Renu-Rajesh, the accusers, was also wasted for ten years and still Renu Sharma’s case is pending in the High Court. It is being told that both the husband and wife were harassed for ten years under this defamation case which could not stand in the court.
