The Supreme court On Monday extended its interim stay on the proceedings of the defamation case against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal till May 13.
The case pertains to Chief minster retweeting a video of a youtuber making allegations against the BJP IT cell.
On request of the stakeholders, A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta adjourned the matter and ordered that interim orders will continue till the next date.
The time was granted to discuss with Kejriwal the modalities of an apology that would close the case. On February 26, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Kejriwal, submitted before the apex court that retweeting of the allegedly defamatory video circulated by youtuber Dhruv Rathee in 2018 happened ‘by mistake’
The top court had then directed the trial court not to proceed with the defamation case against him for the time being.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief had approached the apex court challenging the February 5 order of the Delhi High Court refusing to quash the summons issued against him.
The High Court had said that reposting alleged libellous content would attract defamation law. The bench had then asked the complainant in the case to take instructions on whether the case could be closed based on Kejriwal’s admitting to the mistake.
