In his complaint, Ojha had accused Bidhuri - who represents the South Delhi Lok Sabha seat - of having blamed Biharis and Poorvanchalis (natives of eastern UP) for lawlessness in the national capital.
Bidhuri's comment appeared on social media in October end.
Stating that as a resident of Bihar he had felt hurt by the MP's statement, Ojha had urged the court to issue directions for lodging a case against Bidhuri under IPC sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 153(A) (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth and language).
