Defamation case: Delhi HC refuses plea against use of public money by Arvind Kejriwal to pay Ram Jethmalani

The Delhi High Court on Monday has refused to hear plea against the use of public money by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in defamation suit to pay senior lawyer Ram Jethmalani’s fee, according to ANI reports. The issue surfaced when Delhi L-G Anil Baijal reportedly sought Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar’s advice in clearing bills of Ram Jethmalani, who has been fighting for AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in a defamation case against Arun Jaitley in a city court. In this regard, Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia had sent a note to the Delhi law department in December to release the appearance fee of Jethmalani.
