Arun Jaitley to be cross-examined before single judge, not joint registrar: Delhi HC

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The Delhi high court on Friday decided to transfer the ongoing cross-examination of Arun Jaitley before the joint registrar to a court in a defamation suit filed by him against Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and five other party leaders. Expressing a view that any matter, including the present one, should be conducted fairly and in time-bound and speedy manner, justice Manmohan said the cross examination of the finance minister be done by a single judge of the high court. He further said now the joint registrar’s order directing Kejriwal to conclude Jaitley’s cross-examination on 12 February becomes infructuous as now the court will decide the date and the relevancy of questions put to the Union minister. The court’s direction came during hearing of Kejriwal’s appeal against joint registrar’s 2 February order directing him to conclude the cross-examination on 12 February itself.
