Union Minister Arun Jaitley and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today moved joint pleas before the Delhi High Court and the trial court to "settle" their over two-year long litigation regarding alleged defamatory statements made against the BJP leader after the AAP supremo apologised for his remarks.
The move by Kejriwal came as no surprise as he has already apologised to some others, including Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Congress leader Kapil Sibal's lawyer son Amit, who had filed defamation suits and complaints against him.
While in the high court, Jaitley had filed a civil defamation suit in December 2015
"The complainant has accepted the apology tendered by the accused and in view thereof does not wish top proceed with the aforementioned complaint against the said accused."
