The court had on August 6 framed criminal defamation charges against ex-Delhi BJP chief Gupta in in the complaint filed by Dikshit.
Dikshit had filed a complaint against Gupta alleging that the BJP leader had used “uncivilised” language against her in the run up to the MCD polls last year while accusing her of helping and conniving with power companies.
The court had directed Dikshit to appear before it today to record her evidence against Gupta.
The BJP leader had earlier said that when he seeks exemption from appearance, he is acted against while the CM's exemption is allowed.
