New Delhi: After the refusal to withdraw the allegations leveled by former CM of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal against BJP’s leader Nitin Gadkari, Kejriwal will face charges in the defamation suit filed against him by Nitin Gadkari.
Both Kejriwal and Gadkari today appeared in the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Gomati Manocha in connection with the case. During the proceedings, the court advised the two leaders to settle the matter amicably. Gadkari offered to withdraw the defamation case filed by him against Kejriwal on the condition that he withdraws all charges of corruption made by him.
Meanwhile Kejriwal directly refused to withdraw the serious nature of charges made by him against the BJP leader.
The court then said that charges will be framed against Kejriwal in connection with the case.
Metropolitan Magistrate Gomati Manocha had on May 23 extended the judicial custody of Kejriwal and fixed a fresh hearing in the case for today, after the Kejriwal refused to furnish a bail bond for his release.
However, on May 27, Kejriwal, on the advice of the Delhi High Court, obtained bail from the trial court by furnishing a personal bond.
