Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chaddha today moved the Delhi High Court seeking quashing of a trial court order summoning him as an accused in a criminal defamation plea filed by union minister Arun Jaitley.

The matter came up for hearing before Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal, who did not issue notice to the senior BJP leader and posted the plea for further hearing on October 30.

Chaddha has moved the high court against a trial court's January 30 order summoning him as an accused in the case.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and four other AAP leaders have also been summoned in the matter. All the accused have been given bail in the case.

Recently the trial court framed charges against Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders in the case after they pleaded not guilty. All of them sought trial in the case.
