A Delhi court dismissed an appeal by former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot against his summoning in a criminal defamation complaint filed by Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. Additional Sessions Judge M K Nagpal ruled that the order did not suffer from any factual mistake, illegality, or impropriety of finding. Shekhawat alleged that Gehlot publicly defamed him by linking him to the Sanjivani scam in the state.
