The defamation complaint was filed against Karunanidhi for making comments allegedly defaming Labour Minister S T Chellapandian and Selvam for publishing them in the party organ's August 23rd issue.
When the matter came up today, Principal Sessions Judge P Kalaiarasan summoned the two to appear before the court on December 18.
He also directed the Printer, Publisher, Editor and Reporter of Tamil weekly 'Ananda Vikatan' to appear on that day in connection with another defamation case filed against it.
