Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal filed an application in the Delhi High Court seeking certain records from officials concerned of the Delhi District and Cricket Association (DDCA), in order to “confront” Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley during his cross-examination in the defamation suit. The BJP leader filed the case against Kejriwal and five AAP leaders, seeking Rs 10 crore as damages.
Issuing notice to Jaitley, Joint Registrar Pankaj Gupta sought a reply to the application by July 28. According to the application filed by Kejriwal’s counsel Anupam Srivastava, the matter is at the stage where Jaitley is being cross-examined. Further cross-examination of the BJP leader was listed for July 28 and 31. For this, Srivastava said Kejriwal requires certain records from the “official concerned of DDCA”.
