PM Modi’s degree: Gujarat HC rejects Kejriwal’s review plea

Rejecting a review plea moved by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection to seeking information regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s educational degrees, the Gujarat High Court on Thursday said that Kejriwal continuing to harp upon following the cause by proceeding with the review application “does not reflect good taste in public life”.

The dismissal paves the way for Gujarat University (GU) to proceed with the criminal defamation suits against Kejriwal and Rajya Sabha AAP MP Sanjay Singh.

The HC on Thursday rejected Kejriwal’s application seeking a review of its March order that quashed a directive of the Central Information Commission (CIC), which had asked GU to “search for information” regarding Modi’s degrees.

The GU has alleged that Kejriwal and Singh made defamatory statements days after the March verdict.
