New Delhi: A court here Monday directed former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to appear before it May 21 in a defamation case filed by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari.
It had issued summons to Kejriwal to appear before it April 7 for calling Gadkari "corrupt" but his lawyers sought an extension saying the AAP leader was busy campaigning in the Lok Sabha election.
Allowing a plea for exemption moved by Kejriwal, Metropolitan Magistrate Gomati Manocha said: "The accused is directed to appear positively on May 21."
