A Delhi court on Thursday agreed to list the matter against Delhi CM-designate Atishi Marlena.
A Senior advocate for Atishi sought an adjournment as he could not have a legal meeting with her due to her busy schedule. He also said that he could not have prepared to lead arguments on notice (Charge). Atishi Marlena also appeared through video conferencing. The Rouse Avenue Court listed the matter on October 7 at 2 PM.
BJP leader Praveen Shankar Kapoor has filed a defamation complaint against her.
Atishi will take oath as Delhi CM on September 21.
“Atishi will take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on September 21, other ministers will also take their oaths alongside her,” the Aam Aadmi Party said in a statement.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi, who has staked claim to become the next Delhi Chief Minister, said on Tuesday that she is happy about the trust posed in her by the outgoing CM Arvind Kejriwal but also sad that he has resigned from his post.
Atishi told reporters that she will work to bring back Kejriwal as Chief Minister after the assembly polls, which would be held in the next few months.
“First of all, I would like to thank the popular CM of Delhi, AAP national convener, and my guru – Arvind Kejriwal. He gave me such a huge responsibility and trusted me for it. This can be done only in AAP, only under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, that a first-time politician becomes the CM of a state. I come from an ordinary family. Had I been in any other party, perhaps I would not have been given even an election ticket,” Atishi said.
