PM Modi Degree Row: Gujarat court reserves order on Arvind Kejriwal plea against summons in defamation case

In an order passed on April 17 this year, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jayeshbhai Chovatiya while issuing summons, had said that the statements made by Kejriwal and Singh were prima facie defamatory.

A Sessions Court in Ahmedabad on Friday reserved its order on a revision application filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Singh, who have challenged the summons issued against them by a Magistrate court for their alleged defamatory statements related to the academic degree of Prime Minister Narendra Modi [Arvind Kejriwal vs Piyush Patel].
