The Delhi High Court has reserved its order on Law Minister Kapil Mishra’s plea seeking copies of the chargesheet in a case over his alleged objectionable tweets during the 2020 Delhi Assembly polls. The case stems from a complaint filed by the returning officer under Section 125 of the Representation of the People Act.
