Arvind Kejriwal's lawyer on Monday told SC that he has no problem in admitting that he committed a mistake by retweeting an allegedly defamatory video, circulated by YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, related to BJP IT Cell. A bench headed by justice Sanjiv Khanna, without issuing notice on a plea of Kejriwal challenging a Delhi High Court order which upheld summons issued to him as an accused in the criminal defamation case, asked the complainant whether he wanted to close the matter in view of Kejriwal's apology. The bench also directed the trial court not to take up the defamation case involving Kejriwal till March 11.
