The Delhi High Court on Monday issued notices to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Atishi and Sanjay Singh in connection with a defamation case filed against them by Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit.

Mr. Dikshit had approached the High Court challenging a trial court order that dismissed his plea in April, observing that the allegations made against him by the senior AAP leaders were “not imputation” but “political aspirations and assertions”.
