Metropolitan Magistrate Swati Katiyar commenced recording of pre-summoning evidence in the matter and recorded the statement of petitioner Neeraj Saxena, who has filed the criminal complaint on behalf of the NGO, Maulik Bharat Trust.
The complainant alleged that Kejriwal gave misleading information in his affidavit filed before the poll panel last year.
Kejriwal had "wilfully misled" Election Commission by concealing his correct address and suppressing the market value of his property, the complainant has alleged.
The plea was allowed for examining three government officials, including the record keeper of Delhi's Chief Election Officer, with the matter being fixed for May 7.
The NGO's counsel had earlier argued that the affidavit was filed by Kejriwal before the competent authority at Jam Nagar house here, which falls under the jurisdiction of this court.
