It had, however, granted bail to Kejriwal, Sisodia and Yadav after they had appeared before it in pursuance to summonses against them. A Delhi court on Tuesday issued non-bailable warrants against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Education Minister Manish Sisodia, and Swaraj Abhiyan founder Yogendra Yadav for non-appearance in a defamation complaint filed in 2013 by a ticket aspirant. He filled up the application form to contest the polls after being told by Sisodia and Yadav that AAP’s Political Affairs Committee had decided to give him the ticket. AdvertisingAdditional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal issued the warrants against Kejriwal and Sisodia, and Yadav, who was then in the AAP, after noting that nobody was present from their side during the hearing on the complaint filed by advocate Surender Kumar Sharma. On the basis of the complaint, the trial court had earlier sought their presence before it in the matter.
