New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday moved the Delhi High Court seeking details of bank accounts and details of tax returns of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and his family over a defamation suit filed against him.
Kejriwal, in his application, contended that he is seeking such financial records of Jaitley and his family members from 1999-2000 to 2014-15, "to disprove" the claims made by the senior BJP leader against him and five other party leaders who were named in the defamation case.
The AAP leaders had alleged irregularities and financial bungling in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), of which Jaitley was the president for about 13 years till 2013.
Jaitley has denied the allegations
The application was filed through advocate Anupam Srivastava.
Jaitley, in December last year, had appeared before the High Court to record his evidence in connection with the defamation case.
The high court had on July 12 framed issues against Kejriwal and others in the matter, notwithstanding their claim that they had not made any defamatory statement against him in the DDCA case.
