The Delhi High Court on Friday issued a notice to Union Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, in connection to the application filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the DDCA case.
Kejriwal, in his application, has asked for copies of the meeting of executive committee of DDCA from 1999 to 2013.
The CM’s plea said that the documents are required to confront Jaitley during his cross-examination in the civil defamation case. It will be heard on 28th July.
Arun Jaitley had earlier filed a criminal defamation suit against Arvind Kejriwal and five other Aam Aadmi Party leaders including Ashutosh, Kumar Vishwas, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chaddha and Deepak Bajpai.
In his complaint, the finance minister had accused Kejriwal and others of defaming him in a controversy regarding Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA). Jaitley had headed DDCA for over a decade.
Jaitley had also filed a civil defamation before the Delhi High Court and sought Rs 10 crore as damages.
