Court today refrained from ordering an interim stay on trial proceedings in a criminal defamation case filed against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal by a former aide of Congress leader Sheila Dikshit.<\/p>\n<p>Justice A K Pathak refused to pass any interim stay order in view of a Supreme Court direction that such matters needed to be decided within a year.<\/p>\n<p>The court, however, issued notices to the state and the complainant Pawan Khera, seeking their stands on Kejriwal&#8217;s plea that the complaint was not maintainable as the person affected has not approached the trial court.<\/p>\n<p>The complainant had filed the defamation case over Kejriwal&#8217;s alleged remarks against Dikshit during power tariff hike protests in October 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Khera had said that the AAP leader had used objectionable language against the erstwhile Chief Minister Dikshit in a television show.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing for Kejriwal, senior advocate Sudhir Nandrajog contended that the complaint was ex-facie illegal and sought a stay on the trial court proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Nandrajog, however, also informed the high court about the apex court&#8217;s decision that such matters have to be decided or disposed of within a year.<\/p>\n<p>The court subsequently said that in view of the apex court&#8217;s direction, no interim order can be passed at this stage and listed the matter for further hearing on July 11.<\/p>\n<p>The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo in his plea has sought quashing of the criminal defamation complaint filed against him by Khera, Dikshit&#8217;s former political secretary.<\/p>\n<p>In his plea, he has questioned Khera&#8217;s locus standi to file the complaint and also sought quashing of the January 2013 summons to him and the subsequent proceedings in the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining that prima facie defamation charges were made out against Kejriwal, the trial court had put him on trial in 2013 after he pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court today refrained from ordering an interim stay on trial proceedings in a criminal defamation case filed against Delhi
