The Tis Hazari Court had on Saturday taken cognizance on a criminal complaint filed against Kejriwal for using allegedly "defamatory and seditious" words against Prime Minister Modi following the CBI raid at the office of his Principal Secretary.
The complaint, filed by advocate Pradeep Dwivedi, had sought Kejriwal's prosecution under Sections 124A (sedition) and 500 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) alleging there was 'seditious intention' behind the remarks which spread 'hatred and contempt' against Prime Minister Modi.
