Delhi and District Cricket Association, DDCA has urged Delhi High Court not to take on record the replies of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and cricketer turned MP Kirti Azad to its defamation suit as these have been filed late. In its defamation suit, the Cricket body has sought two-and-half crore rupees each as damages from Kejriwal and suspended BJP MP Azad for alleged defamatory criticism of its functioning and finances. The DDCA, while seeking that the written submissions of the two politicians in the civil suit should not be considered, has told the court that while Kejriwal was late by 16 days, Azad has filed his response after almost 70 days of the stipulated period. However, the court has reserved its order for 3rd of February to decide whether the replies will be taken on record or not. Both leaders have filed separate applications seeking condonation of delays in filing their respective written statements in the defamation suit.
