New Delhi: Patiala House Court on Thursday granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and five other Aam Aadmi Party leaders in defamation case filed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
The next date of hearing is May 19. The court will hear argument on framing of charges against Kejriwal and other AAP leaders.
Jaitley had alleged that Kejriwal and other AAP leaders had made defamatory statements that he and his family members had made pecuniary gains by associating with M/s 21st Century Media Pvt Ltd, a sports management company.
Jaitley had claimed that Kejriwal and AAP leaders Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha and Deepak Bajpai, had given statements even after the complaint was filed against them which had damaged his reputation.
Jaitley had said Kejriwal's statement that he received money when the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium was constructed during his tenure as the DDCA Chief, was false as the Board of Directors had constituted a committee to supervise the work and he was not a member of this supervisory committee.
