PM Modi's degrees : Court reserves order on Kejriwal's plea in defamation case

A sessions court in Ahmedabad on Friday reserved its order on the pleas filed by Aam Aadmi Party leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh, challenging the summons issued to them by a local magistrate in a criminal defamation case over comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's educational qualifications. Gujarat University has filed a complaint of `criminal defamation' before a metropolitan magistrate in Ahmedabad against Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal and AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh over their "sarcastic and derogatory" statements in connection with Modi's degrees. During the hearing on September 6 and 8, the AAP leaders' lawyers argued that the summoning order of the trial court was wrong and Gujarat University could not file a defamation case in this matter. Gujarat University's registrar, Piyush Patel, filed the complaint over Kejriwal and Singh's comments after the Gujarat High Court set aside an order of the Chief Information Commissioner to provide information about Modi's degrees to them under the Right To Information Act.
