A local court in Ahmedabad on Tuesday issued a fresh summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh to appear before it on June 7 in a criminal defamation case filed by the Gujarat University.
The court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate S.J. Panchal summoned Mr. Kejriwal and Rajya Sabha member Mr. Singh after it was informed that the summons issued earlier directing the duo to appear on May 23 had not reached them.
The court acted on a criminal defamation complaint filed by the Gujarat University Registrar contending that the “sarcastic” and “derogatory” statements against the varsity over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic degree defamed the university and its standing.
