Kejriwal, along with AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Ashish Khaitan, appeared before the court which fixed the next date for hearing on November 18.
On last hearing in the case on October 15, Kejriwal had taken exemption from personal appearance.
On May 20, Majithia had filed a criminal defamation case against Kejriwal, Singh and Khaitan in the Amritsar court alleging that AAP was bent upon tarnishing his and his family's image by leveling baseless allegations on the drug issue.
The court had on July 18 issued summons to Kejriwal, Singh, who is AAP's Punjab affairs in-charge, and Khetan, a journalist-turned-politician, to appear before it in the defamation case.
