However, the sessions court upheld the summons, after which they approached the Gujarat HC, which rejected their plea for an interim stay.The two leaders also approached the Supreme Court, which too refused to entertain their pleas.The HC later directed the sessions court to conclude the hearing within ten days after assigning the matter to a new bench.GU registrar Piyush Patel had filed a defamation case against Kejriwal and Singh after the HC in March last year set aside the Central Information Commission (CIC) order concerning PM Modi’s educational qualification.While the court imposed a cost of Rs 25,000 upon Kejriwal, it also refused to grant a stay on the order.Kejriwal and Singh made “defamatory” statements in press conferences and on social media targeting the university over Modi’s degree, GU had said in its complaint.Their comments, which were made intentionally, targeting the GU were defamatory and hurt the prestige of the university, as per the complainant.In April 2016, the then CIC M Sridhar Acharyulu had directed the Delhi University and GU to provide information to Kejriwal on Modi’s degrees.Three months later, the Gujarat HC stayed the CIC order after GU approached it against that order.
