A plea seeks lodging of an FIR against Digvijay for allegedly beating a man after he purportedly tried to attack Janardhan Dwivedi with a shoe.
A Delhi court is likely to pronounce on Tuesday its order on a plea seeking lodging of an FIR against Congress leader Digvijay Singh for allegedly beating a man after he purportedly tried to attack party spokesperson Janardhan Dwivedi with a shoe last June.
Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Jay Thareja had reserved his order after hearing the arguments advanced by the counsel of complainant Sunil Kumar Sharma, who had allegedly tried to attack Dwivedi on June 6 last year at the AICC headquarters.
Sharma has filed a complaint for lodging criminal case against Singh accusing him of beating him along with others after the incident.
Sharma, posing as a journalist, had come close to Dwivedi during a press conference on June 6 last year and after removing his shoe and had allegedly brandished it at Dwivedi.
41-year-old Sharma was later arrested by police under Section 107 (apprehension of breach of peace and tranquility) and Section 151 (disruption of public peace) of the CrPC.
The counsel for Sharma had told the court that his client hailed from Jhunjhunu district in Rajasthan and had come to meet Mukul Wasnik, the Union Minister and party affairs in-charge for Rajasthan, to lodge a complaint about the bad state of roads in his district. Wasnik not being in the office, Sharma was asked by party workers to wait and he went to sit in the hall where the press conference was going on, he had told the court.
Sharma saw questions being asked to the Congress leader and himself raised a query relating to the problems in his district but after being "humiliated", he showed the shoe to the leader, the lawyer had said.
His counsel had said after the incident Digvijay Singh beat up Sharma along with others whom he could not recognise.
He has sought a direction to the Tuglaq Road Police Station in-charge to lodge a First Information Report and conduct a "free and fair" investigation into his complaint and also to produce the report of Sharma's medical examination.
