Counsel for the club on December 5, had submitted that an apology has been given to the lady. Responding to that, Grover had contended that the affidavit submitted by them says that they have not apologised.
He had said that he has been engaged in the matter and will seek instructions as there are issues with maintainability as well. However, on December 12, the Club’s counsel submitted that one apology has already been given.
Grover contended that it is not an apology and they are saying that it is a mistake of an employee, but the employee has followed their by-laws, and it is written in there. He had submitted that the bylaws have been amended in the year 2017.
