The Punjab and Haryana High Court stayed the arrest of former Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas in a case of allegedly making inflammatory statements against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The case was registered against him by the Punjab Police on April 12. The court stayed the arrest of Vishwas, said Mayank Aggarwal, one of the counsels of Vishwas.

The court of Justice Anoop Chitkara fixed July 4 as the next date of hearing. Vishwas had moved the high court last week, seeking quashing of the FIR registered against him. The high court had heard the petition on April 27 and then reserved its verdict on the matter for Monday.
