New Delhi, Jan 27 (PTI) Congress leader Sandip Dikshit on Monday informed a Delhi court that he may consider not prosecuting Chief Minister Atishi and AAP's Sanjay Singh if they withdrew the defamatory allegations against him.

Dikshit's counsel made the submission before additional chief judicial magistrate Paras Dalal, who said both parties were at liberty to explore the possibility of an out-of-court settlement.

Counsel for the complainant is directed to supply the copy of complaint with annexures to the opposite side. Both parties are at liberty to explore the possibility of settlement outside the court before NDOH (next date of hearing)," said the court.

The court adjourned the matter to February 6 on the request of the AAP leaders, who sought time to argue on cognisance of Dikshit's criminal complaint.

The court on January 16 issued notice to Atishi and Singh on the criminal complaint filed by the former Congress MP who alleged the AAP leaders “deliberately caused harm" to his goodwill.

The complaint said at a press conference Atishi and Sanjay Singh alleged Dikshit not only took crores of rupees from BJP, but Congress also colluded with the BJP to defeat AAP.

Dikshit is contesting the Delhi assembly elections against former CM Arvind Kejriwal from New Delhi constituency.
