Non-bailable warrants issued against Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia


New Delhi, Apr 23 (IANS): A Delhi Court on Tuesday issued non-bailable warrants (NBWs) against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Swaraj India chief Yogendra Yadav in a criminal defamation complaint filed by advocate Surender Kumar Sharma.

Sharma alleged that in 2013, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) approached him to contest the Delhi Assembly elections on a party ticket, saying that Kejriwal was pleased with his social services. However, he was later denied the ticket.

Sharma claimed that on October 14, 2013 articles in leading newspapers carried "defamatory, unlawful and derogatory words used by the accused persons" which lowered his reputation in the Bar and the society.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal issued NBWs against the leaders observing that they have failed to appear before it.

Later in the day, Kejriwal's counsel Rishitosh Kumar moved any application seeking a stay on the NBW, which has been listed for further hearing on Wednesday.

Yadav was a member of the National Executive of the AAP till 2015, when he quit the party to launch Swaraj India.

    Delhi court and the L.G. can act only against the honest people and do all efforts to save BJP/CONG criminals. EC and IT another example.

    Toilet,
    Have some patience. Read carefully and don't jump to conclusions. Note that the case is going on for years and after repeated non appearances the court issued a NBW.
    It is unfortunate our court system is very slow moving. This is totally coincidental that the NBW came now.

    So ......no conspiracy :-)
