The Supreme Court has urged IPS officer D Roopa Moudgil and IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri to resolve their long-running dispute through mediation.
The dispute originated from a series of Facebook posts made by Moudgil in February 2023, accusing Sindhuri of sharing her private photographs with fellow IAS officers.
The allegations led to a bitter exchange between the two officers, with Sindhuri issuing a legal notice seeking an unconditional apology and demanding ₹1 crore in damages.
The dispute has been ongoing for over three years, with the Supreme Court repeatedly expressing concern over the public nature of the dispute and its implications for governance and administrative functioning.
A Bench of Justices Satish Chandra Sharma and Sanjeev Sachdeva has appointed former Supreme Court judge Justice Kurian Joseph as mediator to facilitate talks between the two officers.
