Goa’s Mapusa Court on Tuesday issued a summons to AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal in an alleged case of violation of the model code of conduct, asking him to remain present on November 29.
However the local unit of the Aam Aadmi Party said it had received the summons but was unaware of the details of the criminal case against the Delhi chief minister.
The Judicial Magistrate First Class at Mapusa issued the summons.
As per court sources, the case is registered under the Representation of the People Act and section 171 (E) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) dealing with bribery.
AAP Goa chief Amit Palekar said they received the summons on Tuesday, only a day before Kejriwal is supposed to appear before the court.
Palekar, a lawyer, said he will appear in court on Kejriwal’s behalf on Wednesday. “We will get documents and then take a call on whether to challenge the proceedings in a higher court,” he added.
AAP contested the Goa assembly elections in 2017 and 2022. It drew a blank in 2017 while in 2022 it won two seats.
