Modi’s Degree Defamation Case: Gujarat Court Issues Fresh Summons to Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh 

Ahmedabad: A Gujarat court in Ahmedabad on Tuesday issued a fresh summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh to appear before it on June 7 in a criminal defamation case lodged by the Gujarat University over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic degree.

The court issued fresh summons when it was informed that the summons issued earlier directing the duo to appear on May 23 does not appear to have been received by them. None of them appeared in court on Tuesday.

The court of additional chief metropolitan magistrate had issued summons to the AAP leaders in a criminal defamation complaint for their “sarcastic” and “derogatory” statements against the Gujarat University over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic degree.

The previous additional chief metropolitan magistrate issued a summons on April 15 after finding that prima facie there appeared to be a case against Kejriwal and Singh under section 500 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on a complaint filed by Gujarat University registrar Piyush Patel.
