Today, On 18th August, The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the plea of AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi challenging the Delhi High Court order that refused to quash a defamation case, with Justice Sundresh stating, “We will fix a date.”
During a defamation case against CM Atishi, the complainant’s counsel argued before Justice Vikas Mahajan that the special judge acted like a political analyst. He sought a stay on the judge’s remarks, claiming they unfairly portrayed Atishi as a whistleblower. The counsel contended that her statements were “per se” defamatory. The Delhi High Court was urged to intervene and review the observations.
Today, On 17th September, Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Chief Minister, resigned following a Supreme Court order, and named Atishi as his successor. Atishi pledged to work for Kejriwal’s return and urged voters to support the party. She emphasized defending AAP against conspiracies and expressed both gratitude and sadness. Kejriwal called for early elections and declared his quest for “justice from the people’s court.”
