In a major setback to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his colleague and Member of Parliament Sanjay Singh, the Gujarat High Court on Friday dismissed their pleas to quash the summons issued against them in a criminal defamation case filed by Gujarat University over their comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s educational qualifications.
Mr. Kejriwal and Mr. Singh had challenged the summons by a trial court in the case filed by Gujarat University and the subsequent order of the Sessions Court dismissing their revision applications against the summons.
Justice Hasmukh Suthar directed the two AAP leaders to make their submissions before the trial court.
