New Delhi: The ongoing defamation dispute between journalist Anjana Om Kashyap and teacher Faisal Khan, alias Khan Sir, has been settled by mutual consent in the Delhi High Court. Both sides told the court that an agreement had been reached after talks and mediation. The bench of Justice Tushar Rao Gedela appreciated the role of the mediator in the settlement process.
Anjana Om Kashyap and TV Today Network had filed a Rs 2 crore defamation suit against Khan Sir and several others. The petition sought the removal of allegedly objectionable and defamatory comments made on social media. The dispute began after a TV debate on May 29, 2026, in which Anjana commented on the growing influence of online teachers and the commercialisation of education. After this, allegedly insulting posts and videos against her were circulated on social media.
In July, the court had referred the matter to mediation and appointed senior advocate Rajshekhar Rao as mediator. Apart from Khan Sir, the settlement also includes teacher Babita Tyagi, teacher Arvind Bhadoria, Manish Yadav and two social media account operators.
However, the dispute has not been fully resolved with all defendants. Mediation with 4PM News was not successful, while talks with teacher Abhinay Sharma are stated to be pending. The court has asked for another round of mediation with 4PM News. The next hearing in the matter will be on December 15.
