Kejriwal will have to appear in the Ahmedabad court, a big blow from the Gujarat High Court

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has received a big blow in the defamation case related to PM Modi's degree. Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal and party MP Sanjay Singh challenged the summons issued by the lower court as illegal.

The demand was made from Kejriwal's side. The summons is dismissed. The Gujarat High Court rejected this application of Kejriwal. In such a situation, now Arvind Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh will have to appear when the Ahmedabad court calls them.

Now the option of the Supreme Court

Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh are alleged to have made such comments after the Gujarat High Court's decision regarding PM Modi's degree. The Gujarat High Court had given its verdict at the end of March last year on the order to provide the details of PM Modi's degree.

The court then quashed the order of the Central Information Commission (CIC). After the court's decision, both the AAP leaders held a press conference. Arvind Kejriwal is likely to file a petition in the Supreme Court if there is no relief from the High Court.

Personal information cannot be requested

RTI is used to attack opponents. However, the lawyer appearing for Kejriwal said that the Prime Minister's degree is not publicly available, as claimed by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, there is no information.
