A Delhi court on Tuesday reserved its order for 9 March on a criminal complaint filed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders for allegedly defaming him in the DDCA controversy.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sumit Dass, who had earlier reserved the order for pronouncement on Tuesday, fixed it for the next date on the complaint in which Jaitley has alleged that Kejriwal and other AAP leaders had made defamatory statements that he and his family had made pecuniary gains by associating with M/s 21st Century Media Pvt Ltd, a sports management firm.

The court had on 15 February reserved its verdict after hearing the arguments on the complaint, perusing the annexures filed with it and the statements of complainant witnesses recorded in the matter.

The court had earlier recorded statements of Jaitley and other complainant witnesses in the case.
