Metropolitan Magistrate Harvinder Singh granted the relief to Kejriwal for the day after his counsel told the court that the chief minister would not be able to attend the proceedings as he was engaged in some government meetings.
The court has now fixed the matter for further hearing on June 6.
Kejriwal was summoned as an accused by the court in February on a criminal defamation complaint filed against him by Bidhuri, an MP from South Delhi parliamentary constituency, under section 500 (defamation) of the IPC.
He has alleged that during the interview, Kejriwal had falsely said that criminal cases were pending against Bidhuri and a Congress leader but the Delhi Police was not taking action against them.
Bidhuri claimed that no case was pending against him and Kejriwal had defamed him by giving such statement.
