Earlier Vishwas had told the Delhi High Court that the statement against the BJP leader were based on information received as a party worker from party chief Arvind Kejriwal. Vishwas had told Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw that before rendering an apology or making any other statement to Jaitley on the issue, he wishes to know whether his party leaders lied or not while issuing statements against the senior BJP leader.
The High court had granted him more time to decide what statement he will make so that the suit can be disposed of.
Kumar Vishwas along with Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders had accused Arun Jailtely of corruption during his 13-year stint at the Delhi and District Cricket Association.
The High Court had earlier accepted a joint application by Kejriwal and other AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Ashutosh, Deepak Bajpai, Raghav Chadha and Jaitley to seek court permission to withdraw the civil defamation case filed by the latter.
