PM Modi degree row: Court rejects Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh's plea against summons
India TodayA sessions court in Ahmedabad on Thursday dismissed applications moved by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party colleague and member of parliament Sanjay Singh, challenging the summons issued to them for their appearance in a criminal defamation case. The AAP leaders are facing a criminal defamation case in Ahmedabad filed by Gujarat University over their "sarcastic" and "derogatory" statements in connection with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's academic degrees. The sessions court on Thursday dismissed their review petition against summons and stated that the trial order of the lower court was correct. During the hearing on September 6 and 8, the AAP leaders' lawyers argued that the summons order of the trial court was wrong and Gujarat University could not file a defamation case in this matter.
