Judicial magistrate Ravinder Kaur will hold further hearing on July 18 after no conclusion on Friday here, said minister’s legal adviser Punit Zakhmi. Majithia registered the case on May 20, saying Kejriwal, AAP’s Punjab affairs in-charge Sanjay Singh, and spokesman Ashish Khetan had accused him of being in drug trade and not doing enough to control the menace in Punjab.

Khetan is also accused of hurting Sikh sentiments in Amritsar when he compared his party’s youth manifesto to Guru Granth Sahib during rally on July 3.
